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. 

The Value of Provisioning and Deprovisioning – 

Automated Provisioning and deprovisioning activities include creating and propagating user accounts; requesting, approving and granting access to resources; changing users’ access over time; and decommissioning accounts when no longer needed. 

A well-built business case should include the fully loaded costs of software, process changes, organizational changes, hosting, change management and even effects in culture. The costs must be balanced against a full comprehension of value achieved. Whether or not the value exceeds the costs, there is value in simply demonstrating to your stakeholders that you fulfilled every aspect of diligence. 

Below are some important value drivers for automated provisioning and deprovisioning. 

Value No. 1: Operational Efficiency 

Value No. 2: Improving the User Experience  

Value No. 3: Identity Management as a Strategic Differentiator 

Value No. 4: Standardized Technology Platforms, Processes and Policies
