Many enterprises are still running legacy IAM solutions creating challenges like longer time to value for new applications and services. Legacy IAM has substantial support and maintenance costs of infrastructure and software components.
Software vendors have stopped investing in older platforms, putting the burden on your team to build and maintain custom integrations and new features. Additionally, once a legacy offering reaches end of life, vendors typically increase support fees while you remain locked in. You’re left without modern identity features like social login, custom attributes and developer-friendly APIs that enable differentiated digital experiences.

Finding the skills and experts to work on legacy IAM products is challenging and expensive. Even if you have the resources, upgrading legacy systems can be highly costly with codependent stack components. Legacy systems can also suffer from a lack of system maintenance which can lead to costly downtime and lost productivity for the business.

Legacy IAM products are inflexible and are not built to support the hybrid deployments most modern enterprises require. They struggle to bridge between on-premises and cloud-based resources, which limits your deployment and infrastructure architecture options. Legacy IAM lacks support for modern identity standards and have limited out-of-the-box integrations. You are thus left dependent on custom coding for new apps, slowing down your digital business initiatives.

Over time, enterprises accumulate silos of IAM tools and lack a single source of truth. Establishing a central authentication authority lets you assess which systems are foundational and which ones can be rationalized.
We can help you avoid a rip and replace situation and instead chart a modernization course that ensures a smooth transition off legacy IAM technologies so you can deliver the IAM capabilities your business needs.
