FROM TECH TALK TO BUSINESS IMPACT: Why On-Premise IAM Is a Costly Mistake (Unless You’re the NSA)

FROM TECH TALK TO BUSINESS IMPACT: Why On-Premise IAM Is a Costly Mistake (Unless You’re the NSA)

On-premise Identity and Access Management (IAM) may feel like control, but it comes with massive costs in infrastructure, staffing, and maintenance. For most organizations, the smarter path is Cloud IAM delivered as Identity as a Service® (IaaS®). Fischer Identity’s IaaS model eliminates hardware burdens, reduces risk, and accelerates deployment while still offering on-premise options for ultra-secure environments. The result: modern IAM that’s scalable, secure, and built for the future.

Building a Strong Foundation for IAM: Why Executive Sponsorship, Project Management, and Stakeholder Identification Matter

Launching or maturing an IAM program isn’t just a technology project; it’s a business transformation. Success starts with a strong foundation: an Executive Sponsor to champion the effort, a Project Manager to coordinate execution, and engaged stakeholders to ensure adoption. By focusing on leadership, structure, and alignment first, organizations can turn fragmented initiatives into a cohesive, sustainable IAM program that reduces risk, builds trust, and supports long-term goals.

FROM TECH TALK TO BUSINESS IMPACT: Why It’s So Hard to Just “Create” an IAM Program—And What to Do Instead

Launching an IAM program isn’t just an IT project—it’s a business transformation. Many organizations fail because they start with project plans instead of understanding the real identity-related pain points. To succeed, you must identify and prioritize issues, estimate the true effort, and align your project scope with business needs.
