The main problems with conventional IDM-Systems are the tremendous amounts of point to point connections and their maintenance. Beyond this there is no clear assignment of responsibilities for the IDM-Operator and the Application Owner in reference to the IDM Interface. Particularly if the IDM System is based on agents.
Therefore we created an SOIDMA strategy for a big German tele-communication provider. The objective was to keep the system responsibility to the Application Owners, to meet compliance needs and to keep the maintenance efforts as low as possible.
