IAM / IGA Project Estimation
We provide preliminary implementation cost estimation to help system integrators prepare proposals, defend budgets, and plan delivery. The output is a structured estimate with assumptions, scope boundaries, and key drivers of effort.
Information We Need to Estimate an IAM / IGA Project
- Target IAM / IGA platform (e.g., One Identity) or Open Source direction (e.g., Keycloak).
- Identity sources (HR, ERP, custom DB) and authoritative data quality.
- Directories and identity stores (AD/LDAP) and current structure.
- Number and type of target systems for integration (SaaS, on-prem, custom apps).
- User population scale (e.g., 5,000+ employees) and user types (employees, partners, contractors).
- Lifecycle processes (joiner/mover/leaver) and required automation level.
- Governance needs (approvals, roles, SoD, audit, reporting).
- Environment requirements (DEV/TEST/PROD), HA/DR, security constraints.
Key Drivers of Complexity (and Cost)
- Integration count and type: standard connectors vs custom integrations.
- Data quality: identity attributes, duplicates, ownership, and mapping work.
- Process maturity: how defined onboarding/offboarding and approvals are today.
- Scale and availability: performance, clustering, and operational requirements.
- Regulatory constraints: logging, audit trails, and evidence requirements.
If the main uncertainty is integrations, see: our integrations-only team option.
What You Receive
- Scope outline: included and excluded items (prevents scope creep).
- Effort estimate by workstream (platform setup, integrations, governance, testing, rollout).
- Assumptions list and risks.
- Draft timeline and milestone plan.
- Optional: phased roadmap (pilot → MVP → scale).
How We Build the Estimate
- Quick discovery call to clarify goals, platform direction, and constraints.
- Short questionnaire and collection of system/integration inventory.
- Estimate construction with explicit assumptions and boundary conditions.
- Review session with integrator team: adjust scope, define milestones.
