Trade Association Enhances Security, Cuts Credential Management Work by 75 Percent

Check out the new Case Study for The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) on Microsoft's Web Site. There are significant business metrics to validate the benefits of an Identity and Access Management project, with a focus on operational efficiency and compliance readiness.

One quote:

"Our user lifecycle management processes were driven by a series of human interfaces and processes, electronic messages and forms, and custom scripting," Condello explains. "These processes were well understood but injected a significant number of 'touch points' for Human Resources administrators and security personnel. We wanted to automate many of our credential management chores and standardize the scripting elements into a common server/services interface. This would free up staff time to strengthen our enterprise security infrastructure."

Developing and Executing on a Healthcare IAM Strategy: Webcast

Healthcare providers have identified that Identity & Access Management (IAM) is core to their enterprise security strategy and their overall business strategy. As evidenced by recent analyst research, IAM within healthcare providers plays an important role in achieving many key business goals, including: (i) simplified end user experiences, (ii) streamlining user management processes and (iii) regulatory compliance sustainability.

Providers, Payers and Patients agree that enhanced security and management of access is a need, and the goals are clear, but many questions still remain. For example:

• Where do I start?
• How do I build a strategy and roadmap?
• How do communicate and sell the value within my organization?
• How do I build a business case, and show real ROI?
• How much will this program cost?
• What technology do I pick?

The Logic Trends IAM5 Workshop engagement has consistently and continually provided answers to these questions, and more, for the last five years. Most recently, CaroMont Health engaged Logic Trends to help determine their IAM strategy, establish project justification, narrow the technology vendor options and set a roadmap for solution deployment.

Listen to the Webcast for yourself, as the bottom line value clearly stated by the CIO was: “In Two Days we felt like we jumped forward Six Months, ” Mike Johnson, CIO.
