identity management

In today’s world, 85% of all U.S. adults used a smartphone, tablet or laptop last year and expect to be able to interact with businesses through a variety of means. In turn, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for businesses to deploy an identity relationship management strategy that can address the significant differences in risk associated with each type of interaction.irm-thumbnail

Our latest perspective paper, The 3 Pillars of Identity Relationship Management: How organizations can reduce risk and increase engagement, defines how businesses should approach Identity Relationship Management. Understanding the relationships between identity, devices, and connected things can enable a more effective, context based risk management strategy at every stage of the customer lifecycle. Managing these relationships throughout the customer lifecycle will allow businesses to offer the better fraud protection resulting in:

  • Streamline credentialing
  • Reducing risk and losses
  • Meeting consumer expectations
  • Providing frictionless customer experiences
  • Complying with regulations

Businesses need to have the ability to invoke real-time “context-based” identity management strategy that identifies risks based on:

  • How customers interact with your business
  • The devices they use and the type of transaction in play
  • Changes to their identity profile throughout the customer lifecycle

Then from knowing all of the above they can automatically generate the appropriate authentication approach on par with the level of risk presented.Laptops, phones, mobile applications and even your car are part of today’s mobile-enabled environment making identity management quite different. This is Identity Relationship Management in today’s wired world. Make sure your identity strategy is scalable, adaptable and reliable. Download our paper today.

Used EV Growth Signals a New Phase of Consumer Purchasing Behavior

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution isn’t slowing down, it’s changing lanes. While recent conversations have seemingly focused on softening demand for new EVs, the used segment has been gaining momentum. According to Experian Automotive’s 2025 EV Year in Review Report, new retail individual EV registrations fell 35.9% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the used retail individual EV registrations grew 25.4% from a year ago. As affordability and growing model availability reshapes consumer behavior, buyers are increasingly turning to pre-owned EVs, which has shown an interesting market divergence that is redefining how consumers are adopting this segment and what it can mean for automakers, dealers, and the overall industry. Key players behind rising used EV demand Notably, Tesla accounted for over half (60.5%) of used retail individual EV registrations in 2025, followed by Chevrolet at 6.4% and Nissan (5.5%). Diving a bit deeper, Tesla made up the top three models of the used individual registrations last year, with the Model 3 coming in at 27.2%, Model Y at 21.7%, and Model S (6.6%). The Chevrolet Bolt EV followed at 4.8% and the Nissan Leaf was at 4%. Tesla’s position as the leading make in the used EV market is a natural extension of its long-standing dominance in new EV sales. The brand’s leadership over the years created a large fleet of vehicles that are now entering the pre-owned market. What the used EV boom means for automotive professionals The growing demand for used EVs can present more opportunities for automotive professionals. Dealers that provide a healthy supply of pre-owned EVs can increase accessibility and play a role in adoption for consumers who are actively looking to purchase, while marketers can emphasize value and ownership benefits. As the market continues to evolve, automotive professionals who understand and respond to these changing dynamics will be best positioned to capitalize on the expanding pool of used EV shoppers.
