3.3.1 Why Do Organisations Introduce EIdM? EIdM projects are no ends in themselves, as they are introduced to obtain a specific goal. Amongst a variety of driving factors and reasons for introducing EIdM into an organisation,179 the following primary and secondary reasons taken from the interviews seem to be the most prevalent reasons being named by the experts180: • Primary goals: ◦ Compliance goals (constraint for organisations) ◦ Business-related goals (e.g., efficiency, automation of processes, general cost reduction, accounting for IT costs) • Secondary goals: ◦ Risk management/IT security goals ◦ Enabler for new business opportunities The presented primary and secondary goals are not mutually exclusive.181 Overlaps and synergies can for example occur in cases where organisations seek to comply with relevant laws by introducing a EIdMS.
