Teaming Up to Tackle Identity and Access Management
RSA Security/Accenture Partnership Puts Products and Expertise in Customers’ Hands

NEXT-GENERATION products. Custom solutions. A quicker route to return on investment.

These are the objectives of a new strategic partnership between RSA Security Inc. and Accenture, a global management consulting and technology services company. Together, these partners provide a suite of products, services and expertise to plan, design and install identity mangement packages. These integrated packages bring customers results such as the following:

TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS Products
and services that are customized to meet the client’s business goals and processes as well as IT capabilities and security objectives.

RAPID DELIVERY A capacity that requires minimal up-front identity management investment, halving the time needed to get from day one to an operational pilot. With rapid delivery, customers can add applications and functionality for deployment to a larger base
of users internally and externally.

BENCH STRENGTH Gained from tapping into the combined products, services, and expertise of two experienced partners and market leaders.

LOWER COSTS By leveraging offshore application development resources. Jeff Margolies, senior manager responsible for identity and access management (I&AM) at Accenture, frames the RSA Security/Accenture partnership as a true end-to-end solution for customers.

“A complete I&AM solution is broad and touches many business processes, organizations both inside and outside, and technologies,” Margolies says. “What Accenture excels at is understanding customers’ specific business priorities, how processes must change and helping coordinate these activities to deliver the correct solution at the correct pace.”
