Abstract
The Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a popular choice for companies seeking a comprehensive cloud computing solution because it provides everything from essential computing resources to powerful data analytics and machine learning capabilities. Saviynt is a cloud-based Identity and Access Management (IAM) system that integrates with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and other services for additional functionality. However, other problems are associated with the transition, such as the requirement to correctly integrate IAM Saviynt into current IT infrastructures and provide comprehensive training to users on the new system. The paper will give a detailed review of the advantages, disadvantages, and best practices related to this transition.
