Where are You At?#
Understanding where your organization is at any point in time is truly crucial if you are to enjoy unbridled IAM Success. To help point the way, here are some sample scenarios and their corresponding place in the IAM stages:- IAM is not implemented at all ->Concepting and planning
- The board or a C-level exec has just begun an IAM initiative ->Concepting and planning
- IAM has a program charter, some sponsors, maybe even looking at some software ->Planning and Organizing
- Tool A needs to integrate with IAM Suite ->Designing and Architecting
- Developers need a common framework to add security to their applications ->Designing and Architecting
- Software, systems, workflows, requirements are vetted and ratified ->Implementing and Integration
- Your IAM implementation is broken. Nothing integrates, vendor is unresponsive, promises are unfulfilled ->Implementing and Integration
- Some degree of IAM has already been implemented ->Maintaining and Supporting
- You have already spent hundreds of thousands or millions on IAM and are unsatisfied ->Rinse and Repeat / back to Concepting
