Planning Your Implementation

To plan a CA Identity Manager implementation, you decide how CA Identity Manager will manage users and what functionality you need to accomplish your business objectives. Some questions to consider are:

• How do I manage users?
• Do I need account provisioning?
• What are my custom business requirements and should I implement them using workflow?

Based on the decisions you make, you can determine the best way to implement CA Identity Manager for your environment.
