As organizations add new employees or move existing employees to new projects or positions, they must ensure those individuals have access to the information assets they require to do their jobs. For security reasons, businesses also need to revoke access privileges whenever employees leave jobs or projects. Organizations are under increasing investor and regulatory pressure to manage access over highly complex information system environments that are accessed by thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people daily. Given this level of complexity, they can be at significant risk of providing inappropriate access that could lead to the compromise of critical enterprise data or applications.

Deloitte and Sun Microsystems believe that enterprises should support their identity and access management (IAM) efforts through proactive role management. By deploying a role's lifecycle solution, organizations can improve employee productivity, streamline access tasks, minimize risk and reduce operational costs while meeting increasing rigorous compliance demands.
