IDMologyTM – A comprehensive methodology for delivering Identity Management projects


Although every Identity and Access Management project has its own unique challenges and complications, there are also significant issues that emerge consistently from project to project. These issues can be addressed upfront– but this rarely happens, since most organizations are implementing Identity and Access Management for the first time and don’t know what problems to expect.

Leveraging more than 30 years of cumulative Identity Management experience, IDFocus created IDMology, a methodology designed to avoid repeatable problems appearing during Identity Management projects lifecycles, quickly resolve analysis and implementation challenges, and offer a consistent, documented code base for future support and upgrades. To learn more about IDMology, download our IDMology whitepaper.

IDMology addresses many of the common challenges that occur during Identity Management project lifecycles, including for example:
  • How can I realistically scope my Identity and Access Management project?
  • How do I quantify Identity Management return on investment (ROI)?
  • Which Identity and Access Management functionality will be most valued by users and management?
  • How can I assess the identity management ROI quickly before investing large sums into the project?
  • How can I guard against cost and schedule overruns?
  • How can I customize the product to meet my business needs and still allow for future upgrades?
  • Which customizations are important and which ones I can live without? How to make a coherent decision about it?
  • How to overcome differences in the test and production environment?
  • How to deliver a successful rollout of functionality without affecting the user’s population?
  • How can I combine SOX with Identity Management to generate return on investment and mitigate risk?
  • How can I ensure buy-in from the business process owner, the technical system administrator, and management?
  • How do I determine which vendor is most appropriate to my needs and budget?

IDMology provides a framework to ensure that our clients’ projects are delivered seamlessly and efficiently, with fewer complications and higher return on investment (ROI).

The goals of IDMology are to:
  • Scope a realistic Identity Management project
  • Provide a realistic picture of the complexities, costs, and return on investment (ROI) before investment
  • Generate strong return on investment (ROI)
  • Enable delivery of measurable business value within two to three months and ongoing
  • Provide increased independence of both the IT and business-user organizations
  • Deliver a supportable application
  • Leverage project implementation knowledge for future usage by the organization
