Whether applications reside in the enterprise or the cloud, managing the identities and access of users is a critical function for IT departments. At the same time, these departments are under increasing pressure to cut operating costs while demonstrating continuous compliance. The manual granting and removing of user access can prove to be costly for any organization, and not just in terms of overhead, but the potential security risks created by these inconsistent processes. Automating user provisioning and application access based on each user’s relationship and role within your organization will reduce security risks by ensuring appropriate access for individuals – whether they are employees, contractors, customers or business partners. An automated user provisioning solution will also improve operational efficiencies by getting new users on board faster and reducing your help desk burden. The result is a smarter, more efficiently managed infrastructure that helps IT save money, reduce risk and deliver a more reliable service.
