Only an executive can
cut through politics and
resistance to compel project
buy-in from affected parties

Make sure the executives
in your firm understand the
process and are on-board
with the upcoming changes

(1) provisions accounts

and (2) acts as a central
repository for accounts
provisioned elsewhere
(i.e. authoritative sources)

It then becomes the
data source that can power
single sign-on (SSO)

The access management
mechanism of IDM can
either authenticate users
or authenticate and
authorize users
