Onboarding Decision Tree

An Onboarding Decision Tree is a structured way to choose the right IAM integration path for a target application.

Definition

An Onboarding Decision Tree is a practical architecture framework used to determine how an application should be integrated into IAM according to factors such as OIDC support, SAML support, persistent local profiles, SCIM capability, and the need for custom development. It helps teams avoid treating all applications the same way and instead align onboarding with the actual technical posture of the target.

The Ariovis perspective

Migration choices should reflect application criticality, hosting, protocol support and operational readiness. Ariovis favors progressive onboarding over a big-bang assumption.

These concepts matter most inside a real project.
