Inevitable Solution: Service Integration
The ultimate goal of Service Integration is to provide business value to end users.
Evolved Multi-Sourcing Integrated Services

o Lite or Heavy Service Integration – How Much Client Legislation is
Required to ensure Service Integration?
 ISG introduce the topic with some key definitions / background
 Question to a Client: How often do you get engaged during incidents
or changes to orchestrate actions between suppliers? … Is this what
you prefer?
 Question to a Supplier: Would you rather orchestrate incidents and
changes with other Service Providers in the environment without
client intervention? … If so, do you, or are there any barriers?
 Question: The Pros and Cons to a heavy or lite service integration
model. What model would yield the best result for both client and
Service Provider?
 Question: What mechanisms would you like to see in the
environment to better enable you to collaborate more effectively?
Topics to Discuss

Are Pain Sharing SLAs the Answer?
Incenting End to End Service Performance

Standard Service Level Framework
In order to be able to guarantee end-to-end SLAs, the service delivery chain needs
to be delineated across the different Suppliers and be supported by OLAs.
SLAs & OLAs
Four types of SLAs:
 Component Service Level
Agreements (SLAs) between
Client and every Supplier
 Operating Level Agreements
(OLAs) for hand-offs between
Suppliers – typically agreed by
Service Integrator
 End-to-End Service Levels
between Client and the
business – parts to be fulfilled
by Service Integrator
 Collaborative Service Levels for
shared Accountability across all
Suppliers

o Incenting End to End Service Performance – Are Pain Sharing SLAs
the Answer?
 Question to a Client: Do wish to or have you instituted cross-
service provider SLAs in your environment, and if so, in what
way?
 Question to a Supplier: Are there any barriers to accepting pain
sharing SLAs with other Service Providers?
 Question: What are other methods (other than penalizing SLAs)
that will incent proactive and collaborative end to end business
service management across Service Providers?
 Question: Are there any issues with all Service Providers in an
environment seeing each other’s performance to SLAs and Key
measures?
