Technology Selection

Align Technology Decisions with Customer Requirements

As IT organizations move to increase security and improve compliance capabilities, they are also faced with the requirements of reducing cost and complexity whenever and wherever possible. To meet the demands created by the "who-had-access-to-what-when-and-where" regulatory requirements, companies are turning to identity management technology solutions. CIOs, CSOs, and enterprise infrastructure architects continually search for optimal technology to drive down costs while meeting regulatory requirements created by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), BASEL II, and a host of existing and planned regulations being put in place around the globe.

Customers' search for the optimal technology solutions, best aligned with internal process needs, places undue stress on IAM project owners, and in many cases, interferes with other enterprise projects. Coupling this with the fact that there are over 400 technology vendors in the IAM space, customers are challenged to find the right solution for today's (tactical) and tomorrow's (strategic) initiatives.

To support this technology vendor selection and best align these decisions with customer requirements, Logic Trends has developed a packaged set of offerings to streamline the process, including:

Project charter

Vendor analysis matrix
Request for information and request for proposal templates
Vendor scorecard
