SIAM® Foundation

SIAM is a management methodology that can be applied in an environment where services are delivered using a number of service providers. Adopting a different level of focus to traditional supplier management with one customer and multiple suppliers, with each supplier subject to individual management, SIAM concentrates on governance, coordination and integration of the service providers, to ensure maximum benefit is achieved by the customer organization.

SIAM is an evolution of how to apply a framework for integrated service management across multiple service providers. It has developed as the service provider ecosystem in organizations has changed, from a single outsourced supplier model, to multiple outsourced suppliers. SIAM has evolved from the challenges associated with these more complex operating models.
