At large enterprises, IDaaS contract renewals increasingly coincide with increases in employee headcount, leading in some cases to soaring licensing costs. This article introduces how to select and reassess a cost-effective authentication platform as a migration strategy for reducing total cost of ownership over the medium to long term.
IDaaS, which is widely adopted as SaaS, is prone to rising licensing costs as the number of accounts increases. When the timing of a contract renewal coincides with an increase in employee headcount, companies may be presented with payment amounts that exceed expectations. It has also been pointed out that base unit prices may have been revised several years after the initial implementation.
The larger the enterprise, the greater the potential impact of even modest cost reductions. Rather than accepting high costs and continuing to pay them, companies may reach a point where they need to consider long-term cost optimization.
This article introduces a concrete approach for large enterprises facing rising IDaaS costs: selecting and migrating to a cost-effective authentication platform.
Through specific measures such as migration procedures and evaluation metrics, the approach aims to contain costs as employee headcount increases and avoid operational risks.
