In an era where digital transformation is no longer optional, IAM is proving to be more than a security function; it’s a strategic lever for both operational efficiency and cost optimisation.
1. The Business Case for IAM Savings
- A Forrester Total Economic Impact study revealed that orchestration solutions like Maverics delivered a staggering 407% ROI and $13.85M in business value over three years by replacing legacy systems and cutting IT labour costs. Strata.io
- Similarly, Gartner found that automated account provisioning alone can drive an ROI of nearly 300%, translating to $3.5M in savings for a 10,000-employee enterprise. Supply & Demand Chain Executive
- But efficiencies don’t stop there. Cloud-based IAM can reduce deployment and compliance costs by up to 30%, and slash password-reset overhead by 70%;that alone can free up significant resources for innovation. Avatier
2. Security That Drives Value
IAM isn’t just about permission management; it’s about preventing costly breaches. Organisations with strong IAM see significantly fewer identity-related incidents.
- In fact, 80% of cyberattacks leverage identity vectors. Proper IAM can reduce breach costs by hundreds of thousands per incident.
