Service Integration & Management

Overview

With the increased acceptance of niche cloud providers, rapid automation, and commoditization of ITO (information technology outsourcing) service towers, IT outsourcing buyers continue to deal with an increasing number of service providers but witness several challenges. Managing a vendor landscape where suppliers follow their own processes, while also ensuring that they are aligned toward the business objectives, is gradually becoming difficult. IT service management has now evolved to a “broker” role.

Increasing complexity drives IT service management outsourcing buyers to re-evaluate their service integration and management strategy. HCLTech facilitates the assessment of the right SIAM service integration and management model. Our two-fold approach toward IT service integration helps enterprises overcome the challenges associated with integrating and aggregating the supplier ecosystem. The HCLTech SIAM model ensures conducive conditions for collaboration by aligning the ecosystem with customer demands. The SIAM solution drives strategic innovation and collaboration in the ecosystem, while maintaining competitive tension.Additionally, the HCLTech SIAM gold blueprint provides an aggregation solution, a service management platform, and an industrialized “service bus”. Together, they enable a strong process framework for integration of disparate IT providers, driving greater visibility into operational performance for improved decision-making. This, in turn, ensures better accountability, trust, transparency, and effective performance management in the ecosystem while establishing a collaborative ethos.

With the shift towards Gen 3.0, the adoption of HCLTech’s Service Integration and Management framework will deliver efficiency, hybrid cloud model adaptation, and a greater supplier management synergy.
