AMOA
Synetis supports its customers from the upstream scoping/consulting phases through to project management in the integration phase and deployment follow-up.
Digital Identity projects always have a strong organizational and functional connotation , but technical constraints are never to be neglected.
In such a context, it is important to have a trustworthy accompaniment with a real feedback on projects and solutions in order to be able to adopt a pragmatic and realistic approach.
Maturity audit
Digital identity is a vast topic for organizations - whether it's IGA, AM, DAG, PAM, CIAM and so on. What are the issues behind each of these topics? Is my organization mature on all these points? Am I really in compliance with current regulations?
At Synetis, we have developed a flash audit offer that enables you to analyze your organization's level of maturity on all these subjects in relation to the state of the art in IAM, taking into account the regulations to which you are subject, the needs of external auditors, as well as business requirements;
In just a few days, you'll be able to identify the weak points you need to remedy, as well as the strong points you need to capitalize on for future projects.
Consulting / Framing
Analyzing the existing situation is an essential step in the scoping mission. The objective is to bring out:
- The maturity of the existing ecosystem in relation to the state of the art in the targeted IAM domain, possibly through a risk analysis phase;
- Current issues in the ecosystem analyzed through interviews with the various players in the processes related to the scope of the assignment;
- The strengths (technical, functional and/or organizational) on which to build the target.
The definition of the target is based on the information gathered in the previous step. Following the findings of the analysis phase, Synetis proposes several potential targets, adapted to the customer’s context, which form the basis for workshops with the project team. The aim of these workshops is to define the target ecosystem, by combining the expertise of Synetis contributors with the ambitions of companies and organizations.
As each context is different, the scoping mission must be adapted and the best compromise found for each company and issue. Once the target has been validated, you need to determine the trajectory to reach the target. Possible trajectories are expressed by taking into account projects in adherence, planning targets set, budget constraints identified, etc.
This stage should make it possible to formalize the major projects to be launched, as well as the solution deployment strategy (application deployment, deployment by population, deployment by functionality, etc.). For each stage, the following information is provided:
- The benefits ;
- Risks covered ;
- Any decommissioned components ;
- A step-by-step breakdown of the project.
To ensure the success of a scoping mission, here are a few points to bear in mind:
- A controlled perimeter ;
- The availability of the players involved;
- An analysis of the existing situation, validated by the experts on the project applicant's side;
- A prioritized inventory of needs;
- Iterative validation of deliverables through intermediate feedback;
- The definition of an achievable target within a well-defined timeframe.
To go further...
Synetis also helps its customers to choose choice of IAM solutions. Several approaches are possible, and the choice of methodology depends on the company in question:
- Recommendation of solutions adapted to the customer's context, based on Synetis experience;
- Drafting of specifications for a wider competition of market solutions;
- Organization of demonstrations or PoCs ;
- Support for RFI and RFP phases (analysis, participation in presentations, decision support).
