Accenture Smart Identity Solution drives high performance by implementing strong, trusted identity management.  Accenture research indicates that identity management is among the top security priorities for technology executives around the world. The reasons behind this are multiple. On the one hand, an organization’s systems must be open to interact with customers, business partners, customers and citizens. On the other, governments and private-sector companies must deal with greater threats from terrorism, illegal cross-border movement, identity and benefit theft and fraud. In response, many country-specific regulations have come into effect, such as the Patriot Act and Sarbanes-Oxley.
CIOs thus find themselves under pressure to provide strong and trusted identity solutions for access rights and privileges to their organizations’ systems—but remain under tight financial constraints in doing so. In addition, they are wary of implementing systems that increase system complexity, thus adding to support costs. Accenture has leveraged its experience in helping the world’s leading organizations become high-performance businesses and governments—and its longstanding relationship with Sun Microsystems—to create a solution that helps meet the challenge of identity management while managing costs and maintaining the system flexibility necessary to gain competitive advantage.
