6 Steps to Get Started with IAM Modernization

In June 2025, InCommon Academy hosted more than 50 community members in a Thread Meetup to discuss identity and access management (IAM) modernization. Over the course of an hour, participants covered a range of topics, including emerging technologies, resource constraints, and more.

The InCommon Academy team distilled the conversation into six key points that all institutions and IAM practitioners should consider before embarking on their IAM modernization journey.

Case Study: Streamlining Researchers’ Access to Shared Resources

Researchers shouldn’t waste time managing multiple logins when they could be advancing knowledge.

Cirrus Identity, an InCommon Catalyst, and the InCommon Federation manage all the complex identity management infrastructure between organizations, enabling researchers to get to their work quickly and securely.

Read our newest case study to learn how Cirrus and InCommon have helped organizations like Duke University, EDUCAUSE, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and UNC Chapel Hill enable access to shared applications for researchers.
