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.

Electric Vehicle Registrations Are Growing Beyond Traditional Locations

For years, most electric vehicle (EV) adoption has been concentrated in California, New York, and other traditional early-adopter markets. And while those markets still lead the nation in total registrations, as of last year, some of the fastest-growing EV markets are in regions that haven’t played a significant role in the past. According to Experian Automotive’s 2025 EV Year in Review Report, EV adoptions seem to be entering a new phase that is spreading well beyond coastal strongholds. In fact, the top designated market areas (DMAs) that saw the fastest year-over-year growth for new retail individual EV registrations in the last five years were Detroit, MI (34.5%), Naples, FL (32.6%), Atlanta, GA (20.6%), Buffalo, NY (18.7%), and Charlotte, NC (17.3%). However, despite the growing demand in these market areas over the last few years, Los Angeles, CA still holds a strong lead in new retail individual EV registrations, with over 164,000 new adopters in 2025. Rounding out the top five were San Francisco, CA (85,000+), New York, NY (78,000+), Miami, FL (45,000+), and Seattle, WA (35,000+). EV adoption expanding well beyond the early-adopter markets could be a result of charging infrastructure growth, vehicle availability improvement, and consumer interest reaching new levels across the country. What does this mean for dealers? The extension of EV adoption into emerging markets signals that these vehicles are becoming a mainstream consideration for more consumers. As dealers look for ways to grow their presence in this segment, adopting marketing strategies, service operations, and inventory planning will be beneficial to meet changing buyer expectations and capitalize on the growing demand. The biggest takeaway isn’t necessarily which markets are selling the most EVs, it’s seemingly where adoption is gaining momentum. As new regions start to embrace these vehicles, it’ll be important to monitor the next phase of growth and where future opportunities may emerge.
