Identity Management Benefits
Today,
we have a list of the benefits our customers expect from their Identity Management
Systems, based on the same set of RFPs used for the previous two days’ posts:
- Improved quality of service to our clients.
- New users gain faster access to the resources needed to perform their jobs,
meet their changing needs and keep them satisfied and productive. - All users gain better service by the reduction or elimination of errors
- Faster processing of requests
- Automation speeds the processing of requests, freeing security administrators
to spend time on other important activities. - Provisioning of client accounts takes minutes rather than days to build.
- Streamlined operations.
- Flexible, rule-driven provisioning approach allows routine, yet complex,
provisioning processes to be automated, improving efficiency and reducing
the possibility of errors. - Information Security support and operating costs are greatly reduced with
automation, delegation, and self-service features. - Implementation of the common processes across multiple accounts will standardize
and simplify procedures, reducing mistakes and cost. - Enable growth with reduced need to increase the size and expertise of the
account administrative staff. - Improved enterprise security with complete visibility into user access
privileges. - Improved ability to automatically detect and react to potential risks.
- Consistent application and enforcement of security rules.
- Reduced security costs through task automation.
- Audit and reporting capabilities.
- Tighter security controls.
- Eliminated or reduced duplicate user IDs.
- Account clean-up or deletion validation across all platforms & applications
based on single action.
In a nutshell: Improved service, increased productivity, reduced errors, increased
efficiency, improved security, reduced risk, regulatory compliance and growth
enablement.
