What should be done to data sources before importing into IDN?

To ensure seamless integration and optimal performance within SailPoint Identity Now, it is essential to conduct thorough cleaning of data sources before importing them. Data cleaning involves the process of correcting or removing inaccuracies, duplicates, and irrelevant information. By doing this, organizations can ensure that only high-quality, relevant data is migrated into the IDN environment. This not only prevents unnecessary complications that may arise from outdated or incorrect data but also enhances the overall quality of identity governance and compliance processes.

While sharing data with stakeholders, storing it securely in the cloud, and reducing its size are important considerations in data management strategies, these actions do not directly address the quality of the data itself. Ensuring clean and accurate data is a fundamental step that lays the groundwork for effective identity management and helps to maintain the integrity of identity governance within the platform.
