Abstract

Traditionally, Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions have been targeted to meet business imperatives for establishing control, accountability, and transparency for access permissions across enterprise IT systems and applications.

This IBM® Redguide™ publication describes how IAM has reached a state of maturity that allows organizations to seek value beyond a previously narrow focus on security, cost savings, and administrative efficiency. New IAM solutions offer opportunities to achieve so much more by delivering new services to wider user communities in innovative ways that closely align to objectives for brand management and marketing.

This guide describes solutions from IBM and Pirean that enable organizations to realize the new and significant routes to value from IAM, with examples of real-world Business-to-Consumer (B2C) scenarios, where these solutions are deployed to meet strategic business objectives beyond security and control alone.
