IBM ISIM/ISAM to IBM Verify: Your Zero-Downtime Cloud Journey
Proven methodology. Proprietary tooling. Zero disruption. SPS has migrated enterprise organizations from legacy on-prem IAM to IBM Verify SaaS — with 100% uptime guaranteed.
Our 6-Phase Migration Process
Developed through dozens of enterprise migrations, our methodology eliminates risk at every stage.
Discovery & Architectural Audit
We document every ISIM/ISAM component in your environment: workflows, adapters, custom code, connected apps, policy objects, and user populations. Nothing is assumed.
schedule 2–3 WeeksTarget Architecture Design
Our architects design the IBM Verify SaaS target state — mapping every legacy component to its cloud equivalent, identifying gaps, and planning custom connectors where needed.
schedule 2–4 WeeksIBM Verify Tenant Build & Configuration
We configure your IBM Verify SaaS tenant from scratch: authentication policies, MFA methods, SSO federations, provisioning connectors, and governance workflows — before any users are touched.
schedule 4–8 WeeksParallel-Run Validation
Both environments run simultaneously. We migrate a pilot user group and validate every authentication path, provisioning workflow, and governance process against the legacy baseline before committing.
schedule 2–4 WeeksProduction Cutover
Phased user migration with automated rollback capability. We move user populations in controlled waves — starting with lowest-risk groups — until 100% of your workforce is on IBM Verify.
schedule 2–6 WeeksHypercare & Legacy Decommission
90 days of dedicated post-migration support. Our team monitors your IBM Verify environment, resolves any issues within hours, and guides your team through decommissioning legacy infrastructure.
schedule 90 DaysEvery Risk, Addressed
Common migration concerns — and how our framework eliminates them.
Service Disruption
Our parallel-run methodology keeps your legacy environment fully operational until IBM Verify is validated. Automatic rollback triggers if any anomaly is detected during cutover.
Data Loss
Every user attribute, role assignment, entitlement, and policy object is exported, transformed, and validated before import. Full audit trail maintained throughout.
App Integration Breaks
We test every connected application against the IBM Verify environment before any users are migrated. Custom connectors built for applications without standard protocol support.
Custom Code Loss
ISIM/ISAM custom adapters and JavaScript hooks are inventoried and rebuilt as IBM Verify extensions using supported APIs. Nothing is left behind.
User Experience Impact
End users experience a seamless transition. Login flows are maintained, MFA re-enrollment is automated, and self-service portals are configured before cutover day.
Compliance Gaps
IBM Verify's continuous compliance reporting is configured and validated before legacy decommission. No audit window is left uncovered during the transition period.
