The past three decennia have brought dramatic changes to the world of IT and the way we work and communicate. The 'Anytime, Anywhere, Any device' philosophy has put great demands on the technical ingenuity and flexibility of your IT department.
The latest trend, partly driven by the emerge of Cloud Computing, is storage and publishing of corporate data outside the (fire)walls of your own premises. Your IT staff are suddenly confronted with environments beyond their (full) control, but for which they are held responsible by your management.
In practice, IT support staff often lacks knowledge of the business rules regarding information access. If (parts of) the environment has been outsourced, this knowledge will even be lower.
Identity & Access Management, the specialism of eXcellence & Difference, provides a framework by which these conflicts may be resolved. The IAM framework allows you to capture the business rules regarding information access into software (policies). You IT staff, or outsourcing party, cannot fail to implement these policies because they are automatically enforced,, without the need to have in-depth knowledge about them. Due to the automation, the process of granting permissions becomes transparent, verifiable and transferable (compliance), while speed increases and the chances of mistakes decreases.
IAM projects require far-reaching insight into your business processes and rules, as well as in-depth knowledge and experience in the underlying technologies. X'nD holds all the right cards: we have years of technical experience, knowledge of the market, vendors and products and we have acted on this cutting edge between business and IT for many years.
