Abstract
This IDC study provides a detailed analysis of the Australia and New Zealand
(ANZ) identity and access management (IAM) market. The study includes an
analysis of the current market size and its growth potential through to 2012,
as well as insights into the ANZ market developments, trends, and challenges.
Spending is expected to continue to be strong as organisations turn to IAM
solutions to help manage risk, improve corporate oversight, protect assets,
improve productivity, reduce cost and complexity, and enforce and simplify the
compliance process. IDC believes that customers increasingly will be looking
for end-to-end solutions built on a common platform, providing strong
integration, management, reporting, and workflow capabilities. There continues
to be a high level of vendor consolidation in the IAM market. With many large
suite vendors in the market IDC expects to see more aggressive competition for
tenders and better solutions for customers.
"IDC believes that key developments in the IAM market over the forecast period
will include its role within the broader governance, risk, and compliance (GRC)
market; application-, service-, and user-centric identity management; and
integration between IAM and security information and event management (SIEM),
network access control (NAC), and system management solutions," says Patrik
Bihammar, senior analyst, Security Solutions, IDC Australia and New Zealand.
