The timeline to onboard an application in SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ)
The timeline to onboard an application in SailPoint IdentityIQ (IIQ) can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the application, the availability and format of user and
entitlement data, integration requirements, and the organization’s experience with SailPoint IIQ. Here’s a general breakdown to give you an idea:
Initial Planning and Requirements Gathering (1-2 weeks)
- Stakeholder Meetings: Identify key stakeholders and gather requirements.
- Scope Definition: Define the scope of the application to be onboarded, including what data needs to be managed.
Design and Configuration (2-4 weeks)
- Technical Design: Design the technical integration, including how SailPoint IIQ will connect with the application.
- Configuration: Begin configuring the application within SailPoint IIQ, including connector setup, aggregation tasks, and custom rules if necessary.
Development and Testing (3-6 weeks) = DEV/QA/UAT
- Development: Develop any custom connectors, workflows, or business processes required for the application.
- Testing: Perform unit, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) to ensure the application is correctly integrated and that all business requirements are met.
Implementation and Go-Live (1-2 weeks) = STAGING/PRODUCTION
- Final Adjustments: Make any necessary adjustments based on testing feedback.
- Training: Conduct training sessions for end-users and administrators.
- Go-Live: Deploy the integration into production.
Post-Implementation Review (1 week)
- Monitoring: Monitor the application integration for any issues.
- Feedback Gathering: Collect feedback from users and stakeholders.
- Review and Adjust: Review the onboarding process and implement any required adjustments or improvements.
Overall Timeline: Approximately 8 to 15 weeks
This timeline is indicative and can vary greatly based on the specific requirements and challenges associated with the application being onboarded. For complex applications or environments with stringent compliance and security requirements, the timeline may extend further. Similarly, if your organization has a well-defined process for onboarding applications and extensive experience with SailPoint IIQ, you might be able to reduce the timeline. Continuous communication with stakeholders and iterative testing and adjustments are key to ensuring a smooth onboarding process.
