IAM Cloud- A Cloud Based, Platform Agnostic Approach for Identity and Access Management
As organisations turn to cloud services and mobile apps to boost productivity and cut operational costs, managing user identities has become more challenging. Moreover, the central tenet for identity management is unification, and without unification and centralisation, a user’s credentials can differ between disparate systems. But as the number of disparate identity components increases, data disparity also inflates,and the ability to effectively monitor user activity becomes almost non-existent. 
IAM Cloud helps organisations consume Office 365 features to handle issues like password resets, SharePoint Session Timeout Control and Automated Lifecycle Management.
Headquartered in Huddersfield, UK, with Indian offices at Bangalore and Ahmedabad, IAM Cloud deploys an Identity Management Solution that consolidates identities, and enables federation across applications to create a process of single sign-on that allows users to have a single username and password to access all applications, hence increasing security. Established with the motive of equipping Identity Management consultants with a cloud-driven alternative to identity managers like NetIQ and FIM; IAM Cloud has become one of the largest Azure deployments in Europe, and currently hosts around 4 million identity and federation services across the globe.
“Our solution can be used by any organisational application varying from on-premises to cloud to third-party hosted platform.” claims Adam Cosby, CEO & Co-founder.Leveraging Microsoft Azure for Identity Unification
In order to empower the unification of identities, IAM Cloud turns IT infrastructures into an integrated system, centralising all identity data, which can have a transformative effect on IT security for organisations and logs customer’s user activities inside the IAM Cloud, where the log engines resolve faults in applications. Moreover, despite hosting on Microsoft Azure, IAM Cloud is platform agnostic when it comes to supporting customers and hence supports a massive range of systems, ranging from SAP to Google and to PeopleSoft. The firm also deploys a unique 24x7 support system spread across Europe, US and APAC region to ensure customer is always the priority.
A great enablement platform for Office 365 to help implementation and management; IAM Cloud helps organisations consume Office 365 features to handle issues like password resets, SharePoint Session Timeout Control and Automated Lifecycle Management. The enterprise single sign-on feature allows users to log-in to their domain-joined desktop workstation and get access without any further login, by clicking into Office 365. Additionally, IAM Cloud’s identity engine provides range of features varying from Drive Mapping to OneDrive for Business & SharePoint, to email and file migration. Besides, in order to make the Active Directory migration easier, faster and cheaper; the firm leverages Microsoft Azure cloud.
IAM Cloud regards India as an important market and cloud as a game changer for India. The firm thus seeks to have multiple offices in India to help millions of users to securely access their applications on cloud,varying from learning platforms in schools to CRMs in big enterprise. “We look forward at developing partnerships with several IT companies across India, and leverage our technologies to grow within India and beyond.” concludes Adam.
