Global Brand Succeeds with Identity Management Strategy

We understand your goals to be:

IDENTITY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY

Support regulatory compliance (HIPPA, PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley, NERC, etc.) by having proper controls in place (Support successful Audit)

Reduce costs - centralize IT provisioning, reduce amount of IT staff (operations, Help Desk) to support organization, automation of routine tasks

Drive Operational efficiency - improve service levels through automation, user self-service tools (password reset, request workflows), automate routine security reports

Manage Risk - better auditing, automate user terminations (remove access promptly), policy-based compliance enforced by IAM system, strong authentication, improve logging/audit trail, reduce risk of security breaches, reduce insider threat risk

Increase user productivity by getting people started quickly (if a new hire sits idle for a week and you multiply that by all new hires annually it equals millions of dollars)

Implement systems to automate reporting, auditing and routine user administration

Save time and money by going in with a strategic approach where you know each step and feel confident in the direction your IAM project is going

Governance - ensure that you have the appropriate structure in place

Understand your customers better to build deeper relationships and drive more sales

Partner with subject matter experts to guide you through the process
