Due to ongoing issues with WAM, Indiana Wesleyan University began looking at alternative authentication systems. The pros and cons of moving to either EZProxy or OpenAthens were considered. Drawing on input from our IT department, OpenAthens was selected to replace WAM. This presentation focuses on the process of moving from WAM to OpenAthens.
