Ask Somesh Singh about his
long and varied career in technology, and he might tell you a story about
his first day at IBM, back in the 1980s. Other employees warned him that it
might take months to get access to the IT systems he needed if he waited for
his paperwork to find its way to each administrator in the system. So, he
spent his first day, walking from office to office, personally securing
signatures and permissions from each system administrator, so he could do
his job. And this, emphasizes Singh, was at one of the foremost technology
companies in the world.
Thankfully, a lot has changed since those days, but identity management has
not become any less complex, nor is it less critical. Customers these days,
says Singh, express concern around five basic issues:
- How to reduce the risk of improper use of IT assets
- How to operationalize today's maze of compliance requirements
- How to get employees productive right away and then keep up with employees throughout their careers and various needs for IT access
- How to cut administrative costs, and
- How to give access to partners, customers, and suppliers to the IT infrastructure in a secure manner that also complies with policy.
These critical customer needs are met in BMC Software's identity management solution, says Singh, and implementing it is an important step on the road to aligning your IT assets with the needs of your business, no matter what size.
