IT Service Integration and Management Market Becoming Highly Automated

STAMFORD, Conn., Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The service integration and management (SIAM) and IT service management (ITSM) market is undergoing a fundamental change from labor-intensive to highly automated services, according to a new report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.

The ISG Provider Lens™ SIAM/ITSM Report for the U.S. finds growing enterprise demand for SIAM/ITSM services from outside vendors because of labor shortages and a need for better understanding of new and complex technologies. Vendors are developing high-tech solutions by automating management tasks associated with a sustainable business IT environment, the report says.

SIAM is a holistic approach used in managing a dynamic, multivendor, multiservice IT ecosystem. It is an evolution of the well-known IT service management (ITSM) discipline.

The SIAM market is not large, but it is "one of the fundamental pillars of every digital transformation strategy," said Esteban Herrera, partner and global leader of ISG Research. "With IT operational budgets still tight, this market is clearly a very attractive area for vendors."

SIAM/ITSM vendors have a strategic role to play with clients, he added. "They are about to get a seat at the internal IT and business-decision table," Herrera said. "But achieving such a position requires a great deal of trust."

SIAM vendors can gain trust through long-term relationships or through rigid policies set by customers, but the second option means the provider typically will be excluded from other service delivery, the report says.

The ISG Provider Lens™ SIAM/ITSM Report for the U.S. evaluates the capabilities of 14 providers across four quadrants: Business Value and Service Management (BVSM); IT Service Design (ITSD); IT Service Operation (ITSO); and Service Information Management (SIM).

The report names Capgemini and HCL as leaders in all four quadrants, and BMC and ServiceNow as leaders in three. DXC Technology is named a leader in two quadrants, and Cognizant one.

The ISG Provider Lens™ SIAM/ITSM Report for the U.S. is available to ISG Insights™ subscribers or for immediate, one-time purchase on this webpage.

Custom versions of the report are available from 4me and Mindtree.
