IT managers face a constant challenge to justify spending, demonstrate business value and quantify the impact of security incidents. Organizations too often fail to prioritize security until a crisis arises. Identity and access management (IAM) domains are key because they enable IT teams to address risk and facilitate operational and revenue gains.

Automated provisioning and deprovisioning value calculations are no different. Provisioning and deprovisioning improve the user experience, operational efficiency and security policies and are integral to business operations. It’s important to view provisioning and deprovisioning as a business matter, not an IT issue.

A well-built business case should include the fully loaded costs of software, process changes, organizational ...
