How to Build your IAM/IAG Infrastructure the Right Way – and Support Business Today

Moderator(s):

Dr. Horst Walther Senior Analyst

KuppingerCole

Many organizations currently are in the situation that they, on one hand, still have to do some homework in building their underlying IAM/IAG (Identity and Access Management/Governance) infrastructure. Implementing directories for internals and externals, implementing Identity Provisioning and Access Governance, Single Sign-On, etc. are things which frequently still need to be done. On the other hand there is the need to support new business requirements for instance for on-boarding of externals or managing access to cloud services today. This leads to the art of supporting business needs and agility today without losing focus.
