Implementation Challenges
- Getting all stakeholders to have a common view of area which is likely to come together and discuss the issues
- Expectation to make the IdM a data synchronization engine for application data
- Envisaging an appropriate business process leading to post-production challenges
- Lack of leadership and support from sponsors
- Overlooking change management — expecting everybody to go through the self-learning process
- Lack of definition of the post-production phase in a project plan — for a smooth transition of the system to the end-user community, it becomes critical that an organization gears up for proper support through a transition phase or stabilization phase. This may take from three to six months.
- Lack of focus on integration testing
- Lack of consistent architectural vision
- Expectations for "over-automation"
- Deploying too many IdM technologies in a short time period
A few of the core challenges around Identity Management solutions include - one, a failure to differentiate between identities and identifying names; two, capability constraints around the use of off the shelf vendor products, three, a failure to assimilate the natural growth trajectory of organizations into the Identity Management solution.

Famous quotes containing the word challenges:
“The approval of the public is to be avoided like the plague. It is absolutely essential to keep the public from entering if one wishes to avoid confusion. I must add that the public must be kept panting in expectation at the gate by a system of challenges and provocations.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
