Need For Enterprises To Use API-Driven CIAM for Digital Agility
Agility is an absolute must for transformation in today's ever-changing world. Any small or big business can't avoid digital transformation – or even delay – anymore as they try in an evolving business environment to remain competitive. "The next 10 years of IT are about transforming your company," as Aaron Levie of BOX rightly said. Just as agility is the way "fast and easy," digital agility is now a means to quickly and easily embrace digital transformation through the right tools and processes. What is digital agility exactly – and how do you achieve its goals? These are the key issues to be addressed during the next few years.
Digital Agility: Digital agility is simply the ease by which every company can adapt to changing business requirements – by allowing its business processes or changing them. "The more we get into a digital economy, the more we adapt and respond quickly, as an organisation, to disruption and change." Meredith Whalen of IDC believes. In short, companies need to invest in resilient business, consumer experience initiatives and technology for a successful digital transformation. For example, by developing an identity-led digital transformation strategy, different users – including internally and externally – can have the right access to the right technology.
IAM and Digital Agility: In IAM technology, applications and frameworks such as Angular JS and React have traditionally been integrated. The limitation of this approach is that capabilities related to IAM are restricted to a particular application. As a result, integration with external systems is a challenge. You need to focus on: To develop a successful digital strategy with IAM: ● What users or identities require applications access rights? ● How are these applications to be used? ● What access resources do they need? ● How can unauthorised application access be prevented? Business leaders must plan on having a flexible IAM solution in their working environment that can be both distributed and dynamic for changing business needs.
