What is covered in a Proof of Value?

Proof of Value is a structured process that helps you get a clear picture of your opportunities and the benefits you can achieve with an IAM solution. It consists of the following steps:

Initial conversation

We begin by understanding your organization, challenges, and goals.

Analysis and calculations

We assess 74 key metrics, weighting them according to your priorities, and factor in your industry, salary costs, and the distinction between internal and external users.

Data collection

We map your current systems and processes.

Rapportering

You receive a tailored report with results and clear recommendations for your next steps.

 

How do we calculate your savings?

The value of an IAM solution includes user-friendly login, increased efficiency through automation, and enhanced security—all of which can be measured.

Example calculation:

Single Sign-On (SSO) streamlines daily work for employees. Using data from a sample company, here’s how the potential savings break down:

  • Number of employees: 500
  • Hourly wage cost: 500 NOK
  • 8 logins per day
  • Each login takes 20 seconds without SSO
  • 225 working days per year
  • Total annual cost of login time: 2,500,000 NOK

Conclusion: For each application employees no longer need to log into, the organization in this example saves 2.5 million NOK annually.

Who is a Proof of Value for?

Are you considering an IAM solution but lack proof of value? Then a PoV is for you. It is particularly relevant if:

You want to ensure that an investment in IAM creates tangible value.
You want a solid basis for comparison to assess the savings against the cost of an IAM solution.
 You want to streamline processes such as onboarding and offboarding.
 You need concrete data to convince management or other stakeholders.
You want to assess what priority an IAM implementation project should have internally.

Proof of Value vs. Proof of Concept

When should you choose what?

Proof of Value (PoV)
Focus on proving business value. PoV shows how an IAM solution can save money, increase efficiency and improve security in your organization. It's ideal for assessing financial potential and securing executive buy-in.

Proof of Concept (PoC)
Focus on testing technology. A PoC demonstrates whether a solution works technically within your organization’s environment. This is the right approach when you need to evaluate specific features or integrations.

In short: PoV helps show the value, while PoC proves that the solution works.
