Jumpstart programs typically last three to four weeks with the goal of deploying a working enterprise directory integrated with corporate applications. The quick-start program consists of the following phases.
Discovery
This phase typically lasts 4 to 5 days and consists of the following activities:
- Survey the existing applications and the directories they currently use.
- Determine the best candidates for initial source directories and for initial application integration.
- Identify major issues associated with the current directory schemas.
- Identify key quick-start participants.
- Establish roles and responsibilities.
- Setup test environment hardware.
Prototyping
This phase typically lasts 3 to 4 days and consists of the following activities:
- Create an initial directory schema based on IDM 360™ standards and add critical custom fields if needed.
- Deploy IDM 360™ in a test/development environment.
- Setup the administrative console.
Integration
This phase typically lasts 4 to 5 days and consists of the following activities:
- Create initial synchronization feed between candidate source directory and IDM 360™ central directory.
- Create Single Sign-on integration between IDM 360 and test application (sample apps can be provided if test application is unavailable).
- Re-point test application to IDM 360™ central directory.
Assessment
This phase typically lasts 3 to 4 days and consists of the following activities:
- Determine issues and challenges based on the jumpstart progress.
- Identify subsequent target directories and application for migration.
- Determine critical customization requirements.
