Nowadays organizations are embracing identity and access management as a means to empower their employees and improve security and access for customers, suppliers, and business partners. Yet, the rush to implement can result in the proliferation of identity information across the enterprise and application-specific authentication and authorization systems. The consequences are increased operating costs, reduced productivity, additional vulnerabilities, and inconsistently applied security policies. This paper discusses the importance of strategic planning and the actions organizations need to take to establish an identity and access management program that creates competitive advantage.
