As companies strive to provide digital services to its consumers and workforce, build offerings that integrate with devices and things, and move business workloads to the cloud and as-a-service models, traditional digital identity systems must evolve to meet these new requirements.

KuppingerCole’s suggested approach for an Identity Fabric specifies three important capabilities:

1. Ability to unify identities across an organization or multiple externally facing services by integrating and re-using existing legacy IAM technologies
2. Provide seamless, secure access to hundreds of digital services to thousands of employees or millions of consumers
3. Make identity services available through APIs for incorporation into external apps and services being built.

Moreover, ForgeRock can be run in both as-a-service and on-premises deployment models, and has deep support for automated DevOps deployments.”
