BUILD YOUR APP OR SERVICE RIGHT FROM THE GET GO SAVE WITH AN IDENTITY SOLUTION THAT WON ’ T SLOW YOU DOWN AS YOU SCALE
Small and medium-sized businesses ( SMB ) often face tough decisions about where to spend funds , time , and mental bandwidth .
The process of building up your app or service involves not only , well , building the app or service , but also the foundational tech you need to support that process and your end result . You might use Twilio for communication or Stripe for online payments , because buying those tools gives time back to your team and removes the burden of building and maintaining SMS gateways and payment processing yourself .
How to build it right
Today it ’ s a login box . But what will the market , users , and partners require of you tomorrow ? How do you prepare when market expectations and technology are always changing ?
There ’ s more to choosing a robust Identity ecosystem to support your business than what products are available . Time to market , reliability , scalability , data , and security are all potentially affected .
One of the most important foundational elements is how you handle Identity and access management ( IAM ). Like other tools , there ’ s a lot of options when it comes to deciding on an effective IAM solution :
• Build from scratch
• Purchase point solutions
• Invest in bundled features
Each path needs resources for the project to be successful , but what exactly those resources are may differ . You want solutions that can scale with you , can improve your security and time to market , make your users happy , and it ’ s worth your investment . If you need to replatform in the future , will your chosen solution scale , or will you have to take on more debt ? p
