Francis Martens: Hi! Welcome to the Integration talks! I’m Francis and I will be your host today. Integration Talks is about everything around system integration and then we both speak about internal integration and cross-company integrations. And it’s not only about the technology but also processes, how tools, and good practices to get the integration projects up and running.
And today we are welcoming Claire, Claire Agutter, I hope I got your name right? And today we are going to talk about SIAM and that will be our focus. So before we dive into the detail, Claire can you tell a bit about your background, about yourself?
Claire Agutter: Yeah of course! Thank you for inviting me to the podcast. So like you said, my name’s Claire, I’m based in the UK and my entire career really has been service management so more than 20 years now which is quite frightening when I think about it like that.

What Blur are trying to do with the navigators is kind of reach out to people who they can see are doing work in a particular
space and asking them to bring in their industry expertise so it sounds trying to say this in a way that doesn’t make me sound massively big-headed, but they’d kind of seen some of the work that we’ve been doing with the content creation they’d seen me present a couple of events so as part of that future of work practice, I get to work with the other Blur analysts who are all fabulously intelligent people just speaking to them is an education and we’re kind of
