The document discusses the evolution of service management from simple IT outsourcing to complex multi-tower outsourcing models. It notes that while outsourcing complexity has increased, so too have the challenges of managing performance, costs, suppliers, and meeting business needs. The document proposes that a well-implemented service integration framework can address these shortfalls by integrating discrete IT services into coherent end-to-end services. It emphasizes that such a framework requires experience, industrialization, and collaboration, with a focus on people, processes, and technology. The goal is to deliver multi-sourced IT elements as a single, reliable, and cost-effective service that meets business and customer needs.
