Agile Identity: The Global 2000's answer to a complex and evolving world

For large, complex organizations, centralizing aspects of identity can be extremely challenging. Business units, subsidiaries, and regional offices often operate independently, making their own decisions and managing their own technology and user bases. Multinational organizations must adhere to regulatory requirements related to data residency, and organizations looking to augment their capabilities for either the short term (i.e. seasonally) or for the long term (including M&A) have challenges centralizing identities originating from outside of their organization.

We’ll also review a few example use cases for how this hub and spoke model can be leveraged by the world’s largest organizations to deliver a combination of agility and flexibility without sacrificing security and efficiency
