After presenting the two federated identity technology options included in the study in the next section, the paper introduces the typical implementation steps, as well as a set of associated assumptions. Each step is then described in detail for the two scenarios: first federation and federation at scale. Finally, instructions to access a companion PingFederate vs Toolkit Total Cost of Ownership Model spreadsheet is provided at the bottom of the document.
This whitepaper presents a study that is a quantitative model of the implementation times for two approaches. It shows a dramatic difference in deployment scenarios and introduces the typical implementation steps, as well as a set of associated assumptions, so you can choose for yourself.
