4. Where we were…
• Employees had different
credentials for every system
• Employees used a single factor of
authentication for most systems
• Identity functions were
spreadsheet & ticket-based
• IAM services were based on one-
off, on-premise tools
• Lack of roles, access was granted
based on “model after” pattern
• License costs were skyrocketing
5. Where we are today
• Employees have a single
credentials for every system
• Employees use two-factor
authentication for all systems
• Identity functions are automated
• IAM services are based on
Salesforce Identity
• Automation is powered by rules-
based provisioning
• License costs drastically reduced
