Employees and rapidly growing numbers of third-party users can have increasingly fluctuating relationships with organizations. The result can create inaccurate, outdated, or multiple active identities for the same person which can leave the organization out of compliance and more vulnerable to security breaches. When organizations undergo a merger or acquisition, tracking down this disparate digital identity information for employees and third-party users that work with the acquired/merged company and incorporating them into the parent organization’s system of record becomes a tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone task.

This paper details the complexities organizations encounter as they manage digital identities. It will also explain how to consolidate the data from multiple identity sources to create a single true identity that can be added to a Master Identity Repository and used for downstream systems.
