One Identity relationship helps partner drive business

My name is Heiko Klarl. In my company, iC Consult Group, I'm responsible for marketing and sales. iC Consult is focused on identity and access management. We are more than 20 years on the market and working for big enterprises. We have our offerings spanning from strategy and business consulting to technology advisory, implementation, integration to support, and operations. As a new offering, we are offering identity and access management as a managed service to fulfill the requests and needs of our customers. Identity and access management is driven by compliance regulations, such as GDPR. And it is influenced by business processes and the business department. There are a lot of requirements from the outside world to be considered when successfully implementing an identity and access management project. GDPR has given our customers the chance to consolidate their different environments, leading to a better structured system, which are easier to maintain and to develop. And of course, regulatory compliance and compliance to GDPR means to be on the safe side and on the legal side for our customers. Identity and access management is a business enabler. Nowadays, the business is in focus, and there is obviously a shift from a technical perspective to identity and access management as a business enabler. IAM has to support the business. That means user-safe services are a very important part of it. For example, user-centric access requests have to come from the business point of view, as well as access certifications. We have to support the managers and business-role owners as good as possible, to allow them to decide whether an access should be confirmed or not. An excellent user experience is the key to compliance and high quality attestations. The identity and access management business is moving forward. Cloud is reality, which has a big impact on how projects will be done. It will speed up projects and will provide new ways to do things. Identity and access governance and privileged account management are growing together. Time is creating an holistic view in all parts of IAM, where employees and partners, customers and things are being considered as an identity and being integrated in the central identity and access management systems. Our approach to achieve IAM excellence are the long-lasting customer relationships and the deep knowledge from various identity and access management projects for more than 20 years. Being the number one in identity and access management means for us bringing all together customers, employees, technology, and vendors, to create the best offer for our customers. We are focused 100% customer satisfaction, and providing identity and access management excellence drives us all the time. The partnership between iC Consult and One Identity is important to us. We are influencing the partner advisory board. A lot of our customers are attending the customer advisory boards. And we really appreciate the deep discussions and insights we have when we are talking to the product management, to the development team, and are sharing details on how strategy looks for the future. And this is an important part to drive identity and access management, excellence together with One Identity for our customers.
