The traditional, monolithic Service Integration and Management (SIAM) model is losing its dominance. Data indicates that only 6% of organizations now maintain a fully integrated model across all suppliers, while 12% rely on a fully outsourced provider. Instead, 44% of firms are now applying integration principles selectively to specific domains or processes. This decentralization is accompanied by a shift in control: 52% of organizations have opted to bring the service integrator role back in-house to maintain tighter oversight.

The Shift Toward Selective Service Integration in Global IT Ecosystems
Nearly half of modern organizations are abandoning all-or-nothing IT management in favor of a targeted approach, according to a new report from Scopism and Unisys. The study, which surveyed 5,000 professionals, highlights a move toward Selective Service Integration, where companies apply governance only where it delivers measurable value.
Technological advancement is driving this transition. By embedding integration capabilities directly into cloud platforms, AI, and automation tools, companies can now replace blanket overhauls with a 'just enough' approach. Claire Agutter, CEO of Scopism, noted that the industry has moved past the question of whether to adopt SIAM toward a pragmatic execution that favors flexibility over rigid, company-wide structures. Karl Brandt, senior vice president at Unisys, emphasized that this evolution allows businesses to focus resources on the most critical service areas, reducing unnecessary overhead and improving the speed of market adaptation.
