White paper: A CIO's guide to User Provisioning and the business benefits it brings  

Abstract

The typical, contemporary business organization is wasting large sums of money and incurring significant security risks due to inefficient user management policies and procedures.

This white paper discusses the problems, and provides an insight into the business benefits obtainable from deploying user management software. It explains why the attractive Return on Investment (RoI) makes it an obvious area in which to invest and discusses how security and service levels can be improved by addressing the problems of managing a large, dynamic user population.

It also covers the problem areas which might prevent an organization from taking full advantage of those benefits.
