Logic Trends' broad experience with Enterprise Identity Management has led to the following rules for success:
- Incremental wins of high value and least pain are essential.
- Processes should not be changed until visible success are accomplished to establish credibility with the enterprise.

- Organization -- your people, your culture, your data;
- Your processes;
- Your technology infrastructure.
The IAM5 model provides clear and identifiable activities that address sound technical IAM solutions, user experience and user management processes, regulatory compliance and enterprise risk management. From strategy and planning, through deployment and integration to operations and support, the IAM5 model provides the guidance and knowledge capital needed for guaranteed success.
