TL;DR: Omada and iC Consult are deepening a long-running partnership that now spans 110-plus joint projects, 40 dedicated specialists and a global delivery footprint across eight regions, according to Omada Identity. The signal for practitioners is that IGA programmes increasingly depend on ecosystem scale, not standalone tooling, to handle complex governance, implementation and operating-model demands.
NHIMG editorial — based on content published by Omada Identity: a strategic update on its partnership with iC Consult and global identity governance delivery
By the numbers:
- The relationship is backed by more than 110 successful joint projects and more than 40 dedicated Omada specialists within iC Consult's global team.
- iC Consult's team includes more than 850 experts across North America, Europe, Asia and beyond.
- Omada was founded in 2000 and focuses on cloud-based IGA for complex hybrid environments.
Questions worth separating out
Q: How should organisations evaluate an IGA partnership model?
A: Evaluate it by asking whether the partner improves deployment consistency, lifecycle execution and auditability across real systems.
Q: Why do IGA programmes need more than software capability?
A: Because identity governance fails most often at integration, adoption and operating cadence.
Q: How do global identity programmes stay consistent across regions?
A: They need standard policy design, shared lifecycle definitions and tightly governed exception handling.
Practitioner guidance
- Map delivery ownership across the IGA lifecycle Document who owns provisioning design, access review operations, exception handling and audit evidence across every region and service team.
- Stress-test hybrid integration dependencies Review how HR, directory, application and ticketing integrations behave when identity data changes in one region but must propagate globally.
- Measure review quality, not review volume Track whether access certifications actually remove stale access, resolve exceptions and produce usable audit evidence.

Partner ecosystems are becoming part of the identity control plane. Identity governance is no longer defined only by the software platform; it is defined by the ability to implement, operate and evidence policy at scale. When a vendor and integrator formalise a deeper relationship, the real signal is that governance outcomes depend on delivery capacity as much as on feature depth. Practitioners should treat implementation capability as a control dependency, not a procurement afterthought.
A few things that frame the scale:
- 96% of organisations store secrets outside of secrets managers in vulnerable locations including code, config files, and CI/CD tools, according to Ultimate Guide to NHIs.
- 71% of NHIs are not rotated within recommended time frames, increasing the risk of compromise over time, according to Ultimate Guide to NHIs.
A question worth separating out:
Q: What should security teams do when identity operations are outsourced?
A: Keep governance decisions, evidence ownership and risk acceptance inside the enterprise. Outsourcing execution can help with scale, but it should not blur who approves access, who certifies entitlements or who is accountable when controls fail. Clear boundaries are essential for audit and remediation.
