An Identity & Access Management platform can boost workforce productivity by streamlining access to resources, improving collaboration, enhancing security, and automating the provisioning and de-provisioning processes. In this article we explore how.
In today's fast-paced business environment, it is more important than ever to ensure that employees have the tools and resources they need to be productive. Identity & Access Management (IAM) plays a critical role in this process, as it helps to ensure that employees have secure access to the systems and applications, they need to do their job.
In this article, we will explore how an IAM platform can help to boost workforce productivity by streamlining access to resources, improving collaboration, enhancing security, and automating the provisioning and de-provisioning processes. Whether you are a medium sized organization or an enterprise company, implementing an IAM platform can help you to increase both efficiency and productivity.
Streamlined access to resources is one way that an IAM platform can help to boost workforce productivity. An IAM platform can provide a single sign-on solution for all systems and applications, which can save employee time and reduce frustration by eliminating the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords.
Here are a few specific ways that an IAM platform can streamline access to resources:
Improved collaboration is another way that an IAM platform can help to boost workforce productivity. By providing secure access to shared resources a platform increases efficiency and reduces the time spent for or recreating information. Among the specific improvements are:
Strong and unique passwords are among the keys to enhanced security. Strong passwords are harder to guess or crack and using unique passwords for each account helps to reduce damage if one account is compromised.
Two-Factor Authentication is a stable of IAM platforms. This security discipline requires users to provide two forms of identification to access company resources. This can include something the user knows (such as a password), something the user has (such as a smartphone or security token), or something the user is (such as a fingerprint). Two-Factor Authentication provides an additional layer of security that can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
The core feature of IAM is role-based access control, which allows administrators to specify which users have access to specific resources based on their role within the organization. This can help to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive company data and systems and can help to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
All the above helps to protect sensitive company data and systems and can help to prevent disruptions that negatively impacts productivity.
An IAM platform can automate the process of provisioning and de-provisioning user accounts, which can save time and reduce the risk of errors. This is especially useful for organizations with many employees or frequent changes in personnel. Automation can be ensured in the following ways:
In conclusion, an IAM platform can help to boost workforce productivity in several ways.
By streamlining access to resources, improving collaboration, enhancing security, and automating the provisioning and de-provisioning process, an IAM platform can help organizations to ensure that their employees have the access they need to do their job efficiently and securely.
