Service integration and management (SIAM) is a management methodology
that can be applied in an environment that includes services sourced from a
number of service providers. SIAM supports cross-functional, cross-process,
and cross-provider integration. It creates an environment where all parties:
* Know their role, responsibilities and context in the ecosystem
* Are empowered to deliver
* Are held accountable for the outcomes they are required to deliver.

This publication will be useful for anyone working in a SIAM environment,
whether they are a customer, a service integrator or a service provider. The
study material covers topics including the origins of SIAM, the different SIAM
structures, roles, challenges, risks and more.
