Question 1

What does this calculator assume?

Accepted Answer

It models the manual cost of access work: provisioning each new hire across N apps, offboarding each departure across N apps, and running quarterly access reviews. Defaults reflect averages across Iden customers; every input is overridable.

Question 2

What are typical inputs for a 200-person company?

Accepted Answer

50-80 SaaS apps in the stack, 5-15 hires per month, 20-40% headcount turnover annually, 10 hours of IT time per week on access tickets, 80-120 hours per quarter on access reviews. Adjust to match your actuals.

Question 3

How does Iden's ROI compare to Lumos or C1 (ConductorOne)?

Accepted Answer

On time savings, similar. On cost, Iden is usually 20-40% cheaper for the same scope because of the flat $7.50/user/mo and zero SCIM tax. On coverage, Iden picks up the apps Lumos and C1 leave to manual processes - which is where most of the hidden ROI comes from.

Question 4

Where does the 30% SaaS reduction figure come from?

Accepted Answer

License reclamation. When offboarding is automated, dormant seats get freed up immediately instead of accumulating until the next quarterly cleanup. Across Iden customers in the 200-2,000 range, this consistently lands at 20-30% SaaS spend reduction in the first year.

Question 5

How long until we see the ROI?

Accepted Answer

Most teams see positive ROI within 30 days from license reclamation alone. The compliance time savings (80-120 hours per quarter on access reviews) shows up at the first audit cycle. Pricing is flat, so the ROI compounds as headcount grows.

Question 6

Does this account for the SCIM tax?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The calculator includes optional inputs for the apps where you're paying enterprise plan rates just to unlock SCIM. Iden eliminates that line item by automating at any plan tier. The SCIM Tax Index at scimtax.org lists 300+ vendors and which tier they gate SCIM behind.
