The Identity CrisisThe Problem With Identity

… is the solution itself

Cost

Proprietary Skillsets Required

Hard to Integrate

Too Static

Not ready for future needs in addressing identity driven business process management in the Cloud

Point to Point Connectors on Proprietary Foundation Promotes Customization and Expensive Consultants

Installation and Maintenance Requires skills using specialized tools. Drives up consulting costs.

Installation and operations costs for IAM are up to 3x the cost of the software licensing alone, mostly due to labor related activities.

Gartner’s Nexus of Forces

The traditional identity management suites were not built for the converging technology world we have today.Gartner calls this convergence “The Nexus of Forces”.

The Result of using old IDM Methods?

Long implementation times and constant reliance on expensive consultants.

Inflexible identity platform requiring forklift upgrades to implement new technologies

Total project implementation costs of up3x the cost of software licensing alone.

Future of Identity Automation

Identity management’s role in delivering cloud services will become more prominent than simple security and business process support role, it will become more of a primary business process automation technology.

Identity VisionThe Solution For Identity

Unlimited Flexibility In Design

• Tiered Identity systems are possible allowing for Top tier control by central IT, and departmental control by business group.

Flexibility Factor

“If the identity suite installed is built on proprietary identity architecture, it may be subject to forklift upgrades, where as an identity architecture built on standards such as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is less subject to the same level of disruption.”

-- 2013: A Strategic Look at Cloud Identity Driven Business Process Automation – ebook by Directory services

Scalability Factor

“Having a solution that can properly address scalability to the cloud and between separate cloud providers will be crucial.”
