Intro
I recently gave a presentation on SIAM, and produced a slide headed “Common SIAM challenges”. This slide went down really well with the attendees, so I thought I would share more widely.
- SIAM Strategy
- Sourcing, selection, tooling
- SIAM Governance
- How much power is retained and how much is given to service providers?
- Tooling Strategy
- What tools are needed?
- Who owns which tools? (Supplier vs SIAM vs Retained)
- Ticket Synchronisation
- Where the ecosystem partners use their own tools, what is the technical solution, design principles and policies required to ensure successful tool integration?
- Configuration Management Database (CMDB)
- Structure, populating and maintaining in a multi-vendor environment
- Event Correlation
- Managing event streams from different vendors
- Developing service dashboards
- Process architecture
- Development of processes that span the supplier eco-system
- How much power to devolve at a day-to-day level?
- Service Catalogue
- How to bring together constituent parts of a service request into a common workflow
- How to interface requests and tasks across multiple systems
