Build vs Buy: Is Managing Customer Identity Slowing Your Time to Market?

Date: Monday, January 23 at 11am PT / 2pm ET

Every team building a web or mobile app faces the same dilemma with every new piece of functionality: build in-house or use out-of-the-box services to make the job easier and faster. And, more often than not, it starts with the fundamental choice of how to provide for authenticated user access.

“Our developers can handle customer identity.” It’s a login box. How hard could it be?

But customer identity is so much more than just the login box. As businesses grow and add features, maintaining a homegrown solution is a major drain on resources. Developer time spent on DIY identity, security and privacy compliance is time taken away from core business innovation.

In this webinar we will discuss how dev teams can:

  • Lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of application development
  • Reduce the risk of a security and compliance breach
  • Keep developers motivated and improve engineering efficiency
