Galexia’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) Strategy Process and Product Evaluation Matrix

Phase 1: Engage

In this phase, the client and Galexia agree on the project scope and timetable, establish communication and collaboration mechanisms, and decide on reporting requirements.

Phase 2: Identify

This phase focuses on identifying relevant inputs via stakeholder consultations and collection of other relevant materials.

Phase 3: Analyse

In this phase, Galexia develops analysis and advice in a number of key documents:

1: Business Requirements, based on analysis of materials collected in the Discovery phase;
2: Technology Evaluation, comparing a number of vendor offerings across metrics relevant to the identified requirements; and
3: Identity and Access Management (IAM) Strategy, a technology-neutral document setting out a broad vision, identifying key requirements and goals, and presenting a high-level architecture.

Phase 4: Plan

Based on the recommendations and outcomes of the analysis, Galexia will assist in the planning for implementation, including a:

Broad, Implementation Roadmap; and
More specific Implementation Proposal with a design and scope for proceeding with implementation activities.
