On the subject of SaaS Identity Governance...
Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) over Employee & Customer user identities is a non-stop task for organizations today. In years past, IGA teams struggled with different tool sets that were created at a time when “SaaS” was a dirty 4-letter word. Their IAM counterparts, however, were able to easily move their workloads into different SaaS offerings resulting in decreased costs while boosting productivity.
The good news is that the largest IAM SaaS companies have finally gotten serious about Identity Governance. Companies like Okta, YouAttest, Saviynt & more have made it easier than ever to run attestation campaigns, access request workflows & much more without ever deploying code onsite.
Which brings every company running IGA workloads on-prem to an interesting inflection point doesn't it? How will they migrate their sophisticated IGA workloads into a SaaS platform?
How will these SaaS IGA tools interface with your IAM toolset & what kind of expertise will your organization now have to develop, hire or retrain?
In most early vendor discussions what you'll notice is SaaS companies don't lead with these points, initially it's about the new shiny toolset. Once the presales demos & POC’s have been delivered & well understood, organizations must decide how they will operationalize, this is where the new IGA project is born.
Team augmentation is much more common with IGA projects. While IAM projects can be directed at specific applications, IGA projects require much more business logic discovery & ongoing maintenance.
