Solution Overview

EPAM’s Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) Vendor Selection Service helps you to decide objectively which solution fits your needs the best, taking into account both the products functional and non-functional requirements with results being enriched by experience gathered through EPAM’s numerous project deliveries.

The service consists of a validation and an assessment phase, the latter containing several modules.

The validation phase focuses on discovery on the product portfolio, the user scenarios and the critical integrations as well as non-functional requirements, including constraints.

During the assessment phase together with the client we define a prioritized featureset and a shortlist of possible vendor solutions. The shortlist (after reviewed) is scored against the features and enriched with EPAM’s industry experience ratings, essentially leading to a detailed scoring.

Optionally can be extended with a project planning module, a UX design module or a POC development module for the selected shortlisted solutions.

Final recommendation is reviewed and presented to client along with detailed ratings and comments for each evaluation dimension.

Results represent an independent and objective view – EPAM is not contracted with any of the assessed technology vendors to favour their solution.

Customer problem

Almost every web application needs a customer identity solution, that is not just secure but serves as a core experience for the customer by acting as a gate to the product. While some teams may have selected a solution that fit the actual need of the past – those decisions may not be satisfying the needs of the present or the future.

Executing a new program has intrinsic risks, furthermore executing without a pre-built system the costs (including TCO) and timelines can skyrocket.

EPAM Solution

EPAM packaged up its vast experience through a high number of CIAM project deliveries to create an independent vendor evaluation service offering, that takes the product features and stakeholder needs into account to objectively select the best solution for the given environment.

Key Differentiators

Service and evaluation criteria are tailored to the stakeholders’ needs and their domain

Real

Independent

Benefits

Executed in a timely manner, using prebuilt know-how and experience
