Swift functioning of IAM systems is imperative for workflow operations, regulatory compliance and security requirements. Information security professionals grapple with the challenge of keeping IT system running, and ensuring that IAM capabilities are aligned to serve the business needs. One also has to ensure just right dependence on centralization and de-centralization for extending permissions, certifications and accesses. Furthermore, it is understood that dependence on manual intervention for automation is structurally challenging. It is, therefore, necessary to take stock of processes and align them with technical capabilities. Often the quick-fix integrations are made to the system for making temporary fixes ... Read More

Impactful healthcare/hospital workflows depend on swift functioning of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) Systems such as EPIC, Cerner, Kronos, and other systems. These applications are created to bring ease in management of health records. However, many healthcare clients have shared challenges in managing identities and streamline accesses on EMR Systems. The source of this problem is the flow of identities on the EMR System. If the EMR system is not connected with the true-identity source such as HRMS, Active Directory or IdM System. It will lead to creation of discreet processes, and thereby complicating the flow – causing frustration for IT teams. Fixing such issues can become a tedious task because it takes pulling identities from various sources and streamlining them to ... Read More

Are you facing challenges while managing identities on EPIC Systems in your organization?

It is important for EPIC System Management teams to answer a few questions, such as: When a user joins your organization – what is the EPIC User creation process? Do new clinicians get day-one access to EPIC System to perform their roles? If yes, is provisioning of clinicians on EPIC System manual or automated? How do you assign templates to users in EPIC?

I had an amazing discussion on my thoughts shared on Hybrid IT with few of you. One important challenge that was identified was unifying identities in a Hybrid setup. No doubt, identities drive IT processes in an enterprise setup, unification of identities thus becomes an important aspect of IT processes. Many a time, unifying identities from multiple target systems becomes a challenge owing to structural issues. In a lot of IT integrations, the target source(s) such as Active Directory are burdened to fetch identity related information and are connected to various applications – creating complex systems processes. Furthermore, if more target source(s) are added due to business expansion, to the IT System, it gets complex to manage. As same set of ... Read More

I will pick up from the point where I left – Is Hybrid a problem or an opportunity? The takeaway for me – Hybrid IT will continue to be there for at-least next few years until we have standards, best practices and lessons learnt. For sure, managing Hybrid Eco-System is a challenge! Cost associated with Hybrid IAM management is often not looked at during the planning stage, making it an expensive deal. I am assuming that most business houses should have an IAM setup – it can be a solution from a leading provider or a home-grown system. Now the next challenge that I would like to point at is the complexity in the architecture of Hybrid setup when it connects to various ... Read More
