Selecting an IAM solution in a heterogeneous industrial environment
An industrial organization wanted to select an IAM solution suited to a global, heterogeneous and highly customized information system.
- IAM Strategy
- IAM Architecture
Context
The group had to work with highly specific tools, open-source components, different identity lifecycles and numerous developments used to automate identity management through application standards and protocols.
Challenges
- Understand a highly heterogeneous information system.
- Account for different identity lifecycles.
- Assess the ability of platforms and integrators to adapt to the organization’s constraints.
- Prepare a structured selection process before demonstrations.
Our approach
Ariovis applied a structured selection methodology, with a particularly important preparation and information-gathering phase because of the heterogeneous information system, followed by shortlisting and demonstrations.
Results
- A structured shortlist of solutions to assess.
- Better consideration of integration constraints.
- A combined assessment of platform and integrator capabilities.
What this engagement demonstrates
When the best decision is not to buy a new IAM
An IAM selection project can legitimately end without any acquisition. When the proposals received do not offer a satisfactory balance between expected benefits, costs and integration constraints, evolving the existing components can be a more relevant path.
This reference demonstrates an arbitration and advisory capability, not the delivery of a migration or the deployment of a new platform.
