3. The Identity Crisis
The
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.

4. -- Gartner http://www.gartner.com/technology/research/nexus-of-forces/
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”.

5. 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 up
3x 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.

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.”

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