In order for multi-sourcing to be successful, organisations must be capable of integrating their service providers into a single, cohesive unit. SIAM/MSI – An introduction to Service Integration and Management/Multi-sourcing Integration for IT Service Management explains: the merits of a multi-sourced approach to outsourcing service towersthe benefits of multi-sourcing contracts with service providers for specified towershow to align multi-sourced servicesthe challenges of using a multi-sourced modelhow to determine the IT operating model (with reference to the international standards ISO 38500, ISO 38501 and ISO 38502)the different types of service integration models (ISI, ESI and ETSI), and the benefits and challenges of eachaggregating service-level performancea multi-sourcing RFP approach, taking into account structural, operational and governance requirements. If you’re thinking of moving from a single-source to a multi-source outsourcing model, SIAM/MSI – An introduction to Service Integration and Management/Multi-sourcing Integration for IT Service Management provides the answers to all of your questions.

The increasing complexity of the IT value chain and the rise of multi-vendor supplier ecosystems has led to the rise of Service Integration and Management (SIAM) as a new approach. Service Integration is the set of principles and practices, which facilitate the collaborative working relationships between service providers required to maximize the benefit of multi-sourcing. Service integration facilitates the linkage of services, the technology of which they are comprised and the delivery organizations and processes used to operate them, into a single operating model. SIAM is a relatively new and fast evolving concept. SIAM teams are being established in many organizations and in many different sectors, as part of a strategy for (out)sourcing IT services and other types of service. This is the first book that describes the concepts of SIAM. It is intended for: ITSM professionals working in integrated multi-sourced environments; Service customer managers, with a responsibility to secure the business supply of IT services in a multi-sourced environment; Service provider delivery managers with a responsibility to integrate multiple services to meet the demands of the customers business and users; Service provider managers with responsibilities to manage integrated services, participating in a multi-sourced environment.

This book has the most simplified explanations of Enterprise Service Management with little technical jargon. Enterprise Service Management (ESM) describes how organisations aim to maximise value creation in line with the organisation's mission. It provides a source of elegance and structure when the world becomes more chaotic, with new techniques and technology vying for our attention. In this book, we explored some key trends driving ESM adoption across industries today. These include cloud computing, DevOps workflows, AI, blockchain, metaverse and many other collaboration tools, which have become increasingly popular with IT organisations over the past few years. You will find step-by-step guidelines for streamlining your ESM journey and other corporate objectives. You will understand business disruption and digital transformation – all influencing such adoption for an enterprise to function today. The main features include setting up your ESM strategy, ESM implementation methods, ESM operating model, and future trends in ITSM. We looked into the metaverse, blockchain, ESG etc., their ways of shaping the ESM platforms, and many more features that the ESM roadmap would require.
