The business drivers for an IAM implementation project vary across organizations and categories, such as Finance, Healthcare, and Government. In this piece, we focus on the key drivers across industries as defined by our own survey of IAM engagements taken from clients both local and global in scale.
Our results indicate that IAM adoption is strongly related to the degree of industry regulation and more weakly to the extent of size of the organization. Regulation is a significant driver in Healthcare and Financial Services, in particular.
Four of the most common business drivers that influence Identity Management projects are Compliance, Operational Efficiency, Business Enablement, and Security.
Compliance
Operational Efficiency/Scale
Business Enablement/Improved Service Levels
Security
In the next blog, we will take a look at some of the short-sighted decisions that organizations make when selecting a technology based on a single pain point, or business driver, that often fails to deliver enough value to the business to justify the investment.
