Although, Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the security backbone of an organization, it is often seen as a mere technical implementation. The four P’s comprise people, process, product and partner and are a main concept within IT service management. In this session the four P’s of IAM are applied to the context of extended enterprise. An extended enterprise is a network of firms which cover supply chains but also loosely coupled collaborations as for example arise in the context of cloud services. In such organizational forms IAM becomes rather a service building block than a technical solution. So the impacts of extended enterprises to IAM are illustrated using the 4 P-Concept.
