Managed Identity Services™:
Outsourced Identity Management: Manage Business, Not Technology
Outsourcing is on the rise. Increasingly, businesses turn to outsourcing for both tactical and strategic reasons:
- Cutting cost
- Shifting capital expense to operational expense
- Guaranteed service levels and performance
- Retaining more control over outcomes
- Rightsizing: scale capabilities to goals/budget
- Mitigating risk of technology selection
- Accelerating time to value
But, for outsourcing to be a viable alternative, the outsourced technology must have several innate characteristics that allow service providers to operate a profitable line of business while offering their clients affordable high-quality, high-value services. These technology characteristics include the ability to:
- Deliver economies of scale through robust and secure multi-tenant / multi-organization design
- Remotely deploy, administer, manage and change the solution
- Offer a single service delivery platform that accommodates all procurement models
- Seamlessly and securely cross domains and organizations
- Enable clients to retain their desired levels of control
- Exploit open source technologies to minimize operating expenses
- Enable service providers to rapidly add and manage client enterprises using lower-cost resources: e.g., plug & play workflows, no programming or scripting, etc.
- Scale to meet the needs of SMB through multi-national enterprises
- Provide High Availability
- Deliver inherent interoperability
Fischer Identity™ supports all of the requirements necessary to enable secure, affordable Managed Identity Services™. Whether or not you decide to outsource any or all of your applications, Managed Identity Services is a viable choice. Since it securely traverses enterprises, domains, and firewalls, the physical location of the Identity solution need not be a consideration. Now, an IdM technology assessment can be driven by what is best for the business.
