What is the best approach for ZYX to appoint a service integrator?
The SIAM model in ZYX has been successfully implemented and operational for 6 months All service providers have signed up to multi-party service level agreements and a detailed collaboration agreement. All providers are either using or interfacing with the common ITSM tool.
NETSCO is providing all LAN and WAN services across the group Although NETSCO is consistently achieving all of its service levels and attends all necessary meetings. NETSCO is not contributing to the overall relationship with the other service providers.
The service integrator wishes to address this problem with NETSCO
What action should the service integrator take?
Project NEWGEN was completed against demanding timescales Because of time pressures, ZYX reduced the scope for testing of the end-to-end processes.
-SIAMRUS is the service integrator and also provider of the service desk for the SIAM ecosystem
-ZYXS is the internal service provider for NEWBNK, which is hosted by OUTSCO
-NETSCO provides the wide area network connecting the OUTSCO data center to the banks using NEWBNK.
Since the transition to SIAM, users of NEWBNK have experienced a significant increase in the time taken to fix incidents The ZYX sales team is now experiencing resistance from customers who were expected to migrate to NEWBNK This is affecting the planned rollout of the new application The ZYX sales team has told the customers that the issues were caused by the providers to ZYX not working together, and not the NEWBNK application itself.
What is the best approach for SIAMRUS to improve the situation?
