The study also found that the industry has significant opportunities to improve the IAM experience for the majority of hybrid cloud adopters.

88% of respondents find technology issues, such as limited IAM functionality, lack of product scalability, and the inability to manage identity and access across current applications, is preventing their adoption of IAM in the cloud.

Two-thirds of respondents say that process obstacles - such as the flexibility and agility of IAM systems, and the ability of IAM to move between different hybrid cloud worlds - hold them back.

A hybrid IAM approach enables today's large enterprise to run, unify, and secure all digital identities in a hybrid IT environment.

More than 70% of respondents expect to see improved customer, employee, and IT benefits from investments in hybrid IAM. "As this first-of-its-kind research shows, while IT leaders are faced with unique criteria and conditions that shape their IT strategy, hybrid IAM has emerged as a necessity in helping them deliver simple and secure employee and customer experiences," said Peter Barker, chief product officer, ForgeRock.

A hybrid IAM platform also solves the need for multiple point solutions while addressing key focal points for today's IT decision-maker.
