REALITY BASED IDENTITY MANAGEMENT IS READY FOR LEADERSHIP. A PROSPERING PERSPECTIVE FOR SECURITY AND BUSINESS PREMISED ON IDENTITY MANAGEMENT ANALYTICS & IN-MEMORY-DATABASES

Abstract

Mounting security and compliance demands are pushing businesses to implement accurate identity management in their IT systems. As an interface between the company`s organizational structure and an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, identity management is subjected to change on both sides. Keeping real-life requirements in line with configured authorizations means responding to these changes. But in reality, very few companies bother to make thorough, real-time adjustments to their systems after implementation – with far-reaching consequences: their concepts become incompatible with their requirements. 

These kinds of discrepancies reduce the quality of business processes, compromise security and drive up costs – making reality-based identity management based on an extensive usage analysis imperative. Up-to-date ERP systems based on in-memory-databased are gifted with integrated analytic capabilities. These capabilities properly used are the key instrument to align identity management to company needs, providing a transparent, lasting security concept and reduce costs throuth accurate license management. In close cooperation with a formerly aligned authorization concept, the use case even goes beyond: a reality based identity management will be enabled wich can be realized as leading control system – with in-time indicators for business and/or compliance issues – to ensure accurate business activities.
