Identity Orchestration ROI: Cutting Costs & Boosting Conversions

In today’s digital landscape, businesses face a growing challenge: balancing robust identity verification with a seamless user experience. Traditional, fragmented identity solutions often lead to high costs, complex integrations, and frustrating customer journeys. Identity orchestration offers a powerful alternative, consolidating multiple identity functions into a single, streamlined platform. This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about achieving a substantial return on investment (ROI).

Key Takeaway 1 Identity orchestration reduces identity costs by up to 70% by consolidating vendor spend and automating manual reviews.

Key Takeaway 2 Streamlining KYC/AML compliance with orchestration minimizes false positives and lowers operational overhead.

Key Takeaway 3 Improved user experience through faster, frictionless verification leads to higher conversion rates and increased revenue.

Key Takeaway 4 A single platform for identity provides better data visibility and control, reducing fraud and enhancing security.

The High Cost of Fragmented Identity

Many companies rely on a patchwork of identity vendors – one for ID verification, another for biometric authentication, a third for AML screening, and so on. While seemingly specialized, this approach creates significant inefficiencies. Each vendor integration requires development resources, ongoing maintenance, and data synchronization. More importantly, it introduces operational silos, making it difficult to gain a holistic view of risk and optimize the user journey. Consider the costs:

• Vendor Management: Time spent negotiating contracts, managing relationships, and resolving issues.
• Integration Costs: Development effort and ongoing maintenance for each vendor API.
• Data Silos: Fragmented data hinders risk analysis and manual review efficiency.
• Manual Review: High false positive rates necessitate costly manual investigations.
• Lost Conversions: Friction-filled verification processes lead to abandoned applications and lost revenue.

A recent study found that companies using five or more identity vendors spend an average of 30% of their budget on integration and maintenance alone. This doesn’t even account for the hidden costs of lost productivity and missed opportunities.

How Identity Orchestration Delivers ROI

Identity orchestration solves these problems by providing a unified platform for managing all identity-related functions. Instead of integrating with multiple vendors, you integrate with a single orchestration layer. This approach offers several key benefits:

• Vendor Consolidation: Reduce vendor sprawl and negotiate better pricing.
• Automated Workflows: Design complex verification flows with conditional logic and automated decision-making.
• Real-time Risk Assessment: Gain a holistic view of risk by combining data from multiple sources.
• Improved Conversion Rates: Streamline the user experience with faster, frictionless verification.
• Reduced Manual Review: Automate routine tasks and focus manual review resources on high-risk cases.

For example, a financial institution using identity orchestration can automatically route high-risk applications to manual review while instantly approving low-risk applications. This reduces processing times, lowers operational costs, and improves customer satisfaction.

Quantifying the Savings: A Cost Comparison

Let’s consider a hypothetical company processing 10,000 KYC/AML verifications per month. Using a traditional, fragmented approach, they might spend:

• ID Verification: $0.50/check x 10,000 = $5,000
• AML Screening: $0.30/check x 10,000 = $3,000
• Liveness Detection: $0.20/check x 10,000 = $2,000
• Manual Review (20% rate): 2,000 cases x $20/case = $40,000
• Integration & Maintenance: $5,000
Total: $55,000/month

Using an identity orchestration platform like Didit, they could potentially reduce these costs to:

• Combined KYC/AML: $0.50/check x 10,000 = $5,000
• Automated Workflows (reduce manual review to 5%): 500 cases x $20/case = $10,000
• Simplified Integration & Maintenance: $1,000
Total: $16,000/month

This represents a cost savings of $39,000 per month, or $468,000 per year.

Beyond Cost Savings: The Value of Reduced Fraud and Increased Revenue

The ROI of identity orchestration extends beyond direct cost savings. By providing a more accurate and comprehensive view of risk, orchestration platforms can significantly reduce fraud. A reduction in fraudulent transactions translates directly into increased revenue. Furthermore, a smoother, faster verification process improves conversion rates, leading to more customers and higher sales.
