SAP Identity Management

The Solution

SAP Identity Management lets you grant and manage user access to applications – securely and efficiently. It helps reduce operational cost in complex on-premise environments, and can be extended to SAP Cloud Platform by connecting with SAP Cloud Identity Services. The current release, version 8.0 (along with SAP Single Sign-On 3.0) will continue be supported in mainstream maintenance until end of 2027.

The Business Challenge

Cost: Historically with SAP, you first have the license cost, and then, a potentially large expenditure on the deployment, as well as needing to become solution experts to support post implementation. Winterhawk have removed the entire capital expenditure aspect, providing a free deployment of SAP IDM with a then ongoing support service tailored to the size of your organization.

Client Success Stories

Hundreds of satisfied clients around the world

When we meet a new client and ask how they provision users – if they reply “manually” there’s usually a big ‘sigh’ that follows! Adding new users, deprovisioning users, moving them to new positions… It can be a really slow process – one that’s frustrating for the end user, and one that impacts productivity as well as costs.

Typically there are three business drivers for selecting SAP Identity Management. The first is operating costs, labour intensive provisioning, approvals, password resets. The second driver is Organisational Change, while a third driver is typically around Regulations and Compliance, especially when it comes to audit and keeping records of approvals, timely deprovisioning and demonstrating control over Joiner/Mover/Leaver processes. The bigger the organisation, the harder it becomes. Click here to learn about our Identity & Access Management related services.
