Computerworld - Mike Hager, vice president of network security and disaster recovery at OppenheimerFunds, says companies that are considering provisioning should ask the following workflow evaluation questions:

How many user accounts and passwords do I have, and in what structure are they sent?
Who or what controls those accounts and passwords?
