Operational Resilience

The Connectivity Gap​

Most organizations only have a small percentage of their applications connected to their governance platform, leading to a connectivity gap that prevents organizations from getting the maximum return on their investment.

The overwhelming costs of connecting applications oftentimes will prevent a large number of critical systems from being connected – or – from being fully automated. The decision to leave applications outside the control of a governance platform or to leave manual provisioning in place defeats the purpose of using a governance tool – and worse – can lead to inefficiencies and security risks.

While vendors offer a growing number of out of the box connectors, the number of available options typically represents a very small percentage of the customer’s application inventory.

Integration firms offer Custom Connectors but the process requires a specialized skill set and is traditionally expensive.

Basic Integration with a Service Desk connector or “Read Only” connectors provides visibility, however, the end result still leaves a number of manual tasks that require administrative oversight and intervention.

IDMWORKS

The Solution​

At IDMWORKS, we understand that connecting applications to a governance platform is a question of time, resources, and technical ability.
