IAM: Identity and Access Management
IAM-as-a-service (IDaaS)

from SailPoint:

IAM-AS-A-SERVICE (IDAAS)
When the SailPoint team began working on cloud-based identity and access management, the first thing we did was clear the drawing board. SailPoint's IdentityNow was built from scratch to be a true software-as-a-service solution that stands proud alongside our award-winning on-premises IAM solution, IdentityIQ.

IdentityNow delivers an integrated suite of IAM services, including SSO, password management, access certification, provisioning, and analytics, all with the benefits of SaaS delivery. You select and pay for only the services that you use. And since the entire suite of services is provided on a common platform, additional services can be added at any time—leveraging the application profiles, policies and other settings already defined.

If you're not quite ready to move your IAM program to the cloud, SailPoint provides a staged on-ramp to IDaaS for customers who want to start with an on-premises IAM solution, but want to transition over time to the true IDaaS model (IdentityNow). SailPoint's Cloud On-Ramp for IdentityIQ assists customers in migrating from IdentityIQ to IdentityNow with minimal disruption to their IAM program.
