Happy New Year. Don’t know about you, but its been busy and bloggin had to take a back seat for a while.
Start off the year with a reminder to be sure to balance you Identity Project between ROI type goals and compliance. Again and again we see projects that are started for compliance reasons and are soon in the weeds due to lack of funding.
Remember, compliance projects are expense projects. There is no direct add to the bottom line. Its a cost avoidance. Once the project spends its first wad of funding to get the system up and running, unless there is some ROI to the mix, funding will start to dry up as management tries to lower compliance costs using your system. Could even mean the project dies a slow, cruel death.
So, as a new year’s resolution, work some password resets into the mix or user self service. This IdM utility cuts down on the administration support (more than you think; try our free ROI calculator). Even if you put in a simple “demo” version of these functions, it will give management the idea that there is money hidden within all that compliance spend.
