been raised but not yet authorized As the NETSCO engineer thought it was urgent, they
implemented the change without following the appropriate change processes to obtain
authorization.

service integration capabilities Additional staff would be recruited to provide additional capacity. The
development and support staff from ZYXS would be transferred to ZYXD to become an internal
service provider.

of ZYXS, no evaluation has been done for using an external service integrator

integrator, are leaving ZYXS in four weeks They intend to form their own company ZSSIAM,

service integrator who are willing to amend their SIAM model.
