The Self-Funded Courion Access Assurance Implementation  > Download Presentation
In this presentation, Jennifer Graham will discuss how SunTrust worked with Courion to come up with a plan in which all of its goals would be met, with the added bonus of structuring the deployment in such a way that the recognized benefits of the technology would literally negate the cost of implementation over a period of 36 months.  Based on SunTrust’s goals, Courion helped structure the sale of its Access Assurance Suite so that the capital expenditure could be amortized over the course of several quarters or years, relieving any impact whatsoever on the IT budget.  Jennifer will discuss how  this enabled the project to address their companies strategic, technical and financial goals.

Automated Identity Governance  > Download Presentation
In this presentation, Chris Tuten will discuss how compliance mandates can be a quagmire for IT resources and budgets. In the past, Sallie Mae had spent several millions of dollars to comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) – one of several regulations the company is subject to – due to inefficient, manual processes. In December 2009, Sallie Mae began an aggressive identity governance project to address spiraling compliance costs. Within six months, the company completely re-architected its IT compliance processes related to identity management and established an automated, repeatable process that is projected to save the company significant expense while improving the company’s overall IT risk and compliance posture.
