Our Track Record:
Identity management (IdM) is a very broad discipline that covers a collection of ideas and technologies focused on maintaining and using digital identities to provide (or deny) services to end users. Customers generally embark on IdM projects because they have encountered a business problem involving secure access to enterprise resources. This, typically, leads to the purchase of an identity management software product that seems to present a "best fit" solution. The path forward, however, is not so clear.
IdM software products are generic and do not necessarily present elegant solutions to real world business problems. These products, however, are flexible tools built around open standards. Herein lies our strength as IdM solution architects: We see the big picture and maintain a broad understanding of the numerous technologies and approaches available in formulating IdM solutions. Coupled with our ability to identify the root needs of our customers, we consistently generate high-value, creative solutions to richly detailed challenges. We've actually had our software partners acclaim that we had achieved 'impossible successes' based on their products. How's that for a creative compliment?
Why We Focus Here:
Success on an IdM project begins with an accurate and realistic vision of the solution. No ammount of technical skill can overcome deficiencies in the ability to begin with the end clearly in view. We attempt to partner with our clients as early as possible in the software implementation life cycle. We consistently find that, the earlier we can engage, the greater the impact we can have on our clients' success.
Besides providing exceptional value for our clients, we find solution architecture to be interesting and creative work.
Our focus allows us to:
- Provide experience-based insight used to support software selection
- Identify and articulate alternatives to obtain a solution that fits the problem
- Understand the overlapping capabilities of products from various vendors and identify 'best-of-breed' options
- Architect solution options based on additional technologies beyond vendor products
- Customize products to meet solution requirements that cannot be addressed out-of-the-box
