After a year of operating the SIAM model, OUTSCO has noticed that the 99 5% availability service level target for NEWBNK has been consistently overachieved by 0.4% every month.
In order to provide better value to ZYX and to challenge the service providers in their delivery, ZYXH would like to increase the availability target to 99 9% as soon as possible.

- A . Ascertain the cost of the change from ZYXS, ZYXD and NETSCO and base the decision to proceed on a cost-benefit analysis
- B . Hold a meeting with ZYXS to discuss the feasibility of the increase and base the decision to change the target on their views
- C . Send an e-mail from OUTSCO to all service providers that the NEWBNK availability target is going to increase with immediate effect
- D . Tell ZYXS. ZYXD and NETSCO that the target is increasing and give them 3 months to make the necessary changes
Project NEWGEN is in the Discovery and Strategy stage. SIAMRUS is assisting ZYX with the design of the SIAM model ZYX has decided to use OUTSCO as an external service integrator but they have not yet been appointed.
The CIO is concerned that the retained capabilities might not have the necessary capability to perform their new role in the SIAM model
What is the best course of action?

- D . Design a new SIAM strategy using the report from SIAMRUS as input
Project NEWGEN was completed against demanding timescales Because of time pressures, ZYX reduced the scope for testing of the end-to-end processes.

– 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 would be the most advantageous approach to onboarding?
- A . Create a standard onboarding approach for all service providers Apply this approach as contracts are renewed created., or extended Use service criticality and an impact assessment to determine the best sequence for onboarding

The next phase is to replace the services currently provided by OUTSCO with services provided by ZYXS, ZYXD, FIELDSCO and NETSCO. This is expected to be completed in 2 months OUTSCO has established a small transition team to assist with the service transfer
Over the past 4 months the performance of the OUTSCO service desk has deteriorated, with 50% of calls to the service desk exceeding the call answer time service level OUTSCO has admitted that this is due to reduced numbers of staff on their service desk
