What's inside

  • Identity populations, from employees to service accounts and AI agents, with each one's source of truth and lifecycle owner.
  • An application inventory by sign-in protocol and provisioning method, with counts and the applications that have neither SCIM nor a connector.
  • Scoring on six capability domains with starting weights from the CIOPages Buyer Guide, for up to four vendors.
  • Fourteen questions to put to each vendor, with a column for whether it showed the answer on your applications.
  • A three-year cost: price per user, machine identities, implementation and migration, support and the renewal uplift.

Format: PDF (3 pages) and Excel workbook.

How to use it

Use it to replace an identity provider or move off on-premises directories. The Excel version totals the counts, scores and cost; the PDF is for working on paper.
