Oft sind Firmen gar nicht in der Lage, sämtliche Zugriffe auf ihre IT-Ressourcen zu kontrollieren und zu dokumentieren. Identity & Access Management (IAM) stellt sich dieser Herausforderung. Wie lange dauert es, bis ein neuer Mitarbeiter an seinem Arbeitsplatz alle benötigten Geräte und Anwendungen nutzen kann? Wie viele Geschäftschancen bleiben ungenutzt, weil die dafür benötigten IT-Ressourcen nicht oder verspätet bereitgestellt werden?

Civilization was going to grind to a halt at 12:01 a.m. on January 1, 2000, as computers programmed to only recognize a two-digit year reset themselves to 1900 and crashed.
