In this paper, we identify the challenges associated with transforming, expanding, and scaling customer loyalty and rewards programs and related membership initiatives, and present solutions based on real-world case studies from four industries. We explore the requirements for an enterprise-grade CIAM solution and address related issues such as build vs. buy and CIAM vs. IAM.

By examining four diverse case studies — and the resulting identity management solutions that were implemented by the respective companies — this paper provides valuable insight for any enterprise wishing to expand or uplift its customer loyalty program to meet membership needs in the age of the consumer.
