CPSG is proud to announce that the Baylor College of Medicine, an internationally respected medical and research institution, has engaged CPSG to evaluate possible Identity Management (IdM) solutions.
Baylor has already implemented a custom developed user provisioning system, but they were becoming overwhelmed with the responsibility of supporting and administering the application. They were also being flooded with new requests for additional functionality.
CPSG needed to develop a commercially maintained IdM solution to consolidate and simplify the provisioning services. This solution would need to be flexible, standards-driven, and stable. Also, there would be an immediate need to replace the existing password synchronization system, replace the custom roles manager for SAP, and provide for a secure, workflow controlled method for decommissioning user accounts.
After a comprehensive review of the client’s business objectives through the CPSG service offering “IdM RoadmapTM,” CPSG facilitated a series architecture review and assessment workshop/meeting with the support of the client’s IT and medical departments. Based on findings from the IdM RoadmapTM, CPSG delivered a comprehensive identity strategy and technical architecture for all centrally managed systems and applications that would provide material impact to the client’s user provisioning and Employee Life-Cycle Management (ELCM) processes. This project was delivered on time and with in the initial project budget.
CPSG proposed a complete phased approach for implementing IdM which included:
IdM solution definition and evaluation
Analysis of current processes and Change, Remove, Update, and Disable (“CRUD”) activities for the colleges staff
Defining future IdM related processes and strategy
IdM product evaluation and architecture
Vendor POC’s
Design enterprise IdM platform
