What Scopism does

Scopism Limited is a UK-registered, founder-owned advisory and standards body focused exclusively on Service Integration and Management (SIAM), the discipline of coordinating multiple IT service providers to deliver end-to-end services. Founded in 2016 by Claire Agutter (who previously founded IT Training Zone in 2007) and headquartered in Mildenhall, Suffolk, the company operates with 1-10 employees and runs a free SIAM Community of 5,000+ practitioners across 120+ countries.

Its core assets are content-led: the practitioner-authored SIAM Body of Knowledge (Foundation, Professional, and topic-specific Compendiums), the annual Global SIAM Survey running since 2018, a Maturity Assessment framework covering Governance & Strategy, Processes, Tooling & Data Management, Measurement & Reporting, and People & Culture, and SIAM Case Studies. Distribution is community-led through Circle.so, the Scopism website, newsletters, social channels, webinars, and the annual Service North SIAM conference.

Monetization spans five streams: tiered SIAM Directory Membership for SIAM service providers (£1,500-£25,000 per year across six employee-size tiers, with certification prerequisites), the SIAM Assured organizational accreditation program, fee-based Maturity Assessments, Scopism-approved SIAM Advisory Services (business case building, operating model design, sourcing strategy, ITT/RFP evaluation, contract review, transition planning), and event revenue from Service North plus add-on services such as eLearning licenses and expert support calls. Customers are split horizontally across SIAM practitioners, customer organizations running multi-supplier IT estates, and SIAM service providers (consultancies, MSPs, tool vendors, training providers).
