Through a combination of multiple-choice questions, candidates are tested on their ability to apply SIAM principles in real-world multi-supplier service environments.

In-Demand Roles and Salaries
SIAM Foundation has become a practical marker of multi-supplier governance skill across Portugal, valued by global business services centres, banks, telecoms and nearshore IT providers that juggle many service partners. As Lisbon, Porto and Braga scale their GBS and outsourcing operations, professionals who can integrate suppliers end to end are increasingly sought after. Demand runs from service desk analyst up to IT service manager and head of service management, and here is what the market shows right now.

Practical Multi-Supplier Governance Skills
This SIAM Foundation programme builds practical, exam-ready knowledge across all seven topic areas of the EXIN Preparation Guide. By the end you can describe SIAM structures, roles and processes, and explain how to govern multiple suppliers as one accountable service.
Learn what Service Integration and Management is and why it exists: define the customer organisation, service integrator and service provider layers, the core SIAM principles, and the benefits SIAM delivers in multi-supplier environments.
Work through the four-stage journey of Discovery and Strategy, Plan and Build, Implement, and Run and Improve, and compare the internal, external, hybrid and lead-supplier service integrator sourcing models.
Identify the roles across all three layers, from the SIAM Manager, Service Owner and Process Owner to supplier and governance board roles, and understand decision rights and cross-layer collaboration.
Apply collaboration, performance, supplier and governance practices, and understand integrated tooling, data standards and end-to-end SLA reporting across the SIAM ecosystem.
Coordinate incident, problem, change, request and service level management across multiple suppliers so that a fragmented provider set delivers as one end-to-end service.
Recognise the cultural, governance, tooling and commercial risks of SIAM, and see how it aligns with ITIL 4, COBIT, ISO/IEC 20000, Agile, DevOps and Lean.
