Identity and access management (IAM) professional services firms deliver specific system integration, consulting (such as IAM strategy and program management) and managed services for customers seeking to select, install, configure, customize and operate IAM products and services.
Gartner defines identity governance and administration (IGA) as the solution to manage the identity life cycle and govern access across on-premises and cloud environments. To accomplish this, IGA tools aggregate and correlate disparate identity and access rights data, and provide full capability controls over accounts and associated access.
