Gartner Identity & Access Management Summit

From Tactical Technology Implementation to Strategic Business Value
Today every enterprise performs identity and access management (IAM). Whoever its users are - its workforce, its business partners, its online customers - managing their digital identities and their access to corporate systems, data and other assets is critical.

IAM is now established as a cornerstone of information security - an effective IAM program can realize benefits in cost reduction, regulatory compliance and IT governance.

However, relatively few enterprises in Europe have a formal IAM program in place - nearly half are only developing processes and investigating tools, and more than a quarter are still defining processes and using only basic tools.

To reach maturity, an enterprise must refine and optimize its IAM processes and integrate tools within the framework of an IAM architecture that maps to the enterprise architecture and aligns with business needs. Engaging stakeholders across the business, making the business case, and orchestrating all the technologies and other elements within a well-governed IAM program also remain significant challenges.
