The Woodlands, Texas Apr 23, 2025 (EMWNews.com) – Scopism, the leading SIAM and service management best practice content provider, and Integris Applied, a US-based IT services and sourcing advisory firm known for fostering SIAM adoption in the Americas, is pleased to announce that Integris Applied will be the exclusive distributor and assessor of Scopism SIAM Assured (SSA) in the Americas region.

Scopism SIAM Assured (SSA) is a worldwide standard confirming an organization’s ability to provide effective SIAM services with measurable results.  Firms that achieve SSA certification include consultancy/advisory organizations, managed service providers, and tooling providers.  SSA allows them to provide evidence of their SIAM expertise to current or potential customers.  In order to achieve certification, a rigorous assessment must confirm the organization’s services and performance, including governance and risk management, continual improvement, innovation and much more.  Recognizing that there is no one ‘true’ way to adopt SIAM, Scopism has built an accreditation that focuses on the outcomes that an organization has delivered for its clients.  Integris Applied’s role will be to identify and/or perform assessments for providers in the Americas region, including companies across North and South America.
