into the identity of the new parent.• Eg. Cisco Acquiring Cerent

Acquirer

Page 11: Role of identity management in merger and acquisition scenarios

Metamorphosis

• Metamorphosis is the process by which the identities of merged companies are dissolved and fused into a completely new identity.• Eg. Bank of Calcutta + Bank of Bombay + Bank of Madras = Imperial

Bank

Confederation

• Merged organizations preserve their historical identities and are not expected to meld in order to create a new one.• Eg. Boeing + Rolls Royce

Federation

• Develop a new layer of identity and identification on top of the existing layer.• Eg. LVMH + Tag Heuer; P&G + Gillette, Ariel, Tide

Employee’s Identity Management

• During mergers and acquisitions, there is a transition when an employee joins or an object is added to an organization -• He/She/It is assigned a role, OR• He/She/It acts the assigned “temporary” role, OR• People/Systems change roles or leave

Sections of Employee Behaviour

• Different sections of employees show different patterns of initial reactions• A section of the employees is entrenched: they are typically unsettled or

disturbed by the change, often exhibiting anxiety or anger, and focus on riding out the change. • Another section of employees tends to feel overwhelmed, depressed and

powerless, withdrawing from what is going on around them. • Another section tend to be oblivious of the changes going on around them:

they express a high level of confidence, though they are actually unprepared for change. • Final section of employees are optimistic of the changes, and they take a

learning approach towards merger: they look for opportunities in transition

Identity Crisis

• During mergers/acquisitions or in transition, identity is destabilized.• Respondents connected their identity in their organizations with their

performance. • Formation of new in-groups against the out-groups of the acquiring

company

AmerIndia's IDM solutions: The Integration Challenge

• A recent case in point is a leading hospital's acquisition of another hospital. • Each hospital had its own hospital identities, business processes and

systems. • AmerIndia's IT consulting services took on the integration challenge,

ensuring that identities from the acquired hospital were brought under a single identity and access management system. • They flushed out details about user profile attributes, such as user ID,

location and access to various systems. • The result was a time-saving, scalable system that was accessible, secure,

reduced company costs and operated smoothly throughout the expanded hospital.

that are not under their control, thus helping reduce identity lifecycle management costs.• Can deliver simplified and trusted user experience with single

registration and single sign-on • Because users can navigate easily between Web sites with a single

identity and explicitly control release of their personal data.
