## IAM Platform Implementation Plan
- Strategic goal: Centralize identity management to reduce attack surface by 40%.
- Efficiency target: Decrease onboarding time from 3 days to 4 hours.

## Strategic Alignment & Phased Roadmap
- **Phase 1 (Months 1-2):** Assessment & Architecture.
- **Phase 2 (Months 3-5):** Core Deployment & Directory integration.
- **Phase 3 (Months 6-9):** Integration & Migration for legacy apps.
- **Phase 4 (Month 10):** Optimization & Handover.

## Budget & Resource Allocation
- Implementation Services: 40%
- Software Licensing: 35%
- Internal Labor: 15%
- Infrastructure/Hardware: 5%
- Training & Change Management: 5%

## Integration & Cloud Strategy
- **Legacy Challenge:** Integrating 15-year-old ERP systems using lightweight identity connectors and proxy agents.
- **SaaS Standards:** Enforcing SAML 2.0 and OIDC for platforms like Salesforce, Slack, and Zoom.
- **Automation:** Utilizing SCIM protocols for automated provisioning and JIT access for AWS/Azure.

## Security & Operational Metrics
- Transitioning to a **Zero Trust** architecture where every request is authenticated and encrypted.
- **Target:** 80% reduction in helpdesk tickets related to access and password resets.

## Risk Mitigation & Next Steps
- Utilizing a 'pilot group' strategy with 5% of non-critical users.
- Immediate actions include budget finalization, team assembly (IT, HR, Security, Legal), and architecture workshops.
