Key findings
SIAM is quite new for most organisations in the Nordics. This is not just a challenge; it is a huge
opportunity at the same time.
SIAM is about aligning LoB and IT, and creates an opportunity for Nordic organisations to raise their
business value even higher when implementing a SIAM office function.
Larger organisations as well as the IT & Telecom and Banking, Finance and Insurance sector have
come the furthest in their SIAM efforts and maturity while the difference by country is small.
VSM “thrivers” are the organisations who have the highest SIAM maturity. They are focusing on
business outcome while lowering total cost rather than cutting cost.
Most Nordic organisations believe that a strong partner for the implementation and management of
SIAM can help them make the leap into the future a much faster, better and customer focused ride.

Research Summary
3
IDC conducted a survey that covered general
vendor and sourcing management questions and
more specific SIAM (Service Integration And
Management) questions.
The main purpose is to outline the maturity of
vendor and sourcing management and SIAM
capabilities with any differences between industries
and countries among the participating organisations
in the survey.
The 300 respondents are based in Finland, Norway
and Sweden (100 in each country), from all
industries, and work at an organisation with 100 or
more employees.

Almost one third (32%) of the respondents have a formalised SIAM
(or similar) model in place. Many of respondents don’t know if they
are using such a model, as awareness is low

IDC recommendations
The importance of integrating IT services into business
services by implementing SIAM has never been as
substantial as it is now, when the digitalization of
everything is becoming the only way forward.
Organisations that have weak overall vendor and
sourcing management must establish an organisation to
manage and guide their sourcing activities across the
organisation and ensure committment on group top
management level.
Using a strong partner for the implementation and
management of SIAM can help the organisation to
make the leap into the future a much faster, better and
customer focused ride.
