For years, organizations have hosted their Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions on-premise, prioritizing security policies, infrastructure control, and administrative autonomy. However, as the IT landscape evolves, the demand for scalable, secure, and cost-effective IAM solutions has pushed enterprises to transition to the cloud.

IAM is a critical cybersecurity discipline, ensuring the right users, devices, and applications have appropriate access to enterprise resources. A modern IAM solution must support complex identity lifecycle management, security policies, and compliance frameworks while minimizing maintenance burdens and administrative overhead. With an on-prem IAM system, organizations bear full responsibility for ongoing maintenance, dedicated infrastructure costs, and in-house development resources. Transitioning to Fischer Identity’s cloud-based IAM solution eliminates these challenges, offering enterprise-grade security, automation, and operational efficiency—without sacrificing administrative control or customizability.

Why Transition from On-Prem IAM to Fischer Identity Cloud IAM?

1. Fischer Identity’s Cloud IAM is Built for Complexity, Without Custom Code

Many organizations hesitate to transition to cloud IAM because their on-prem solutions require extensive custom coding to meet complex business requirements. Many SaaS IAM providers force customers to conform to their system limitations, requiring major policy and process changes—an unacceptable risk for enterprises.

• Fischer Identity is fully configurable, no custom coding required
• Handles even the most complex identity lifecycles, including multi-role employees, customers, contractors, and vendors
• Supports dynamic role transitions with zero disruption

Unlike other cloud IAM solutions that cannot support enterprise-level identity governance, Fischer Identity ensures complete feature parity between on-prem and cloud deployments, allowing for seamless migration without policy changes or process disruptions.

2. No Custom Code, No Fragile Deployments—Easier Upgrades & Maintenance

Custom code leads to lengthy and costly deployments and creates a fragile solution that is difficult to maintain and upgrade. Fischer Identity eliminates these issues with:

• A no-code, fully configurable IAM platform – adapt security policies and processes without coding.
• Future-proofed upgrades – unlike custom-coded IAM solutions that require months of rework during upgrades, Fischer Identity ensures seamless updates without downtime.
• Simplified IAM deployment in the cloud – configure and deploy in 6-9 months, compared to years with competitors.

3. Full Administrative Control—Unlike Other SaaS IAM Vendors

Many SaaS IAM vendors limit administrative capabilities, forcing organizations to rely on vendor support or system integrators for routine tasks. Fischer Identity delivers:

• Full administrative control, whether deployed in a multi-tenant or sole-tenant environment.
• IAM SaaS with complete user control, customers maintain full visibility and governance without vendor reliance.
• Cloud IAM with full admin access, empowering IT teams to manage configurations, policies, and integrations without restrictions.

Organizations retain the ability to make changes as business needs evolve, ensuring long-term flexibility and independence.

4. Predictable Budgeting & Cost Reduction with Subscription-Based Pricing

• IAM subscription-based pricing – fixed annual fees ensure budget predictability.
• Eliminates costly on-prem IAM maintenance – no need to invest in hardware, operating systems, or infrastructure upgrades.
• Cloud-based IAM with predictable costs – pay only for the resources you use, reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

5. Enhanced Flexibility & Seamless Integration

Fischer Identity’s cloud IAM solution is designed for rapid adaptability, allowing businesses to adjust access policies, integrate with new applications, and scale without constraints.

• Cloud IAM that supports existing policies – migrate without rearchitecting access models.
• Migrate IAM without changing processes or software codebase – ensuring business continuity.
• 100+ native integrations – supporting Workday, SAP, Active Directory, ServiceNow, and other enterprise applications.
• Enterprise IAM solutions with cloud flexibility – deploy on AWS or private cloud environments for enhanced security.

6. Disaster Recovery & High Performance with AWS-Hosted Security

Many organizations hesitate to move IAM to the cloud due to security and performance concerns. Fischer Identity ensures enterprise-grade security, high availability, and disaster recovery:

• AWS-hosted IAM with high security – leveraging AWS’s robust infrastructure for scalability, encryption, and compliance.
• Cloud IAM with full redundancy – ensuring 99.99% uptime and minimal disruption.
