Centralization and automation of shared identity and access management processes across the organization will improve identity and access lifecycle.

• A. Federated Access
• B. Increased Productivity
• C. Identity Types
• D. Information Sharing

Answer: (B)

Centralizing and automating shared identity and access management processes reduces manual, error-prone work and speeds up the entire lifecycle. When provisioning, updating, and deprovisioning access is standardized and automated, new hires are onboarded quickly, role changes are reflected across systems without delays, and departures immediately revoke access. This lowers administrative effort, minimizes delays for users to obtain the right access, and reduces the volume of helpdesk tickets, all of which boost overall productivity.

Federated access focuses on cross-domain trust and single sign-on, not the internal efficiency of lifecycle management. Identity types describe different kinds of identities, and information sharing covers data exchange; neither directly addresses the operational gains from centralizing and automating IAM processes.
