Insights

Strategic Partnerships Analyst

Integration with TazWorks extends IDI's identity intelligence into the background screening market, improving access for CRAs.

By joining the TazWorks partner ecosystem, IDI places its cloud-native, AI/ML-driven identity graph directly inside a leading background screening workflow. The deal bundles address tracing (idiTRACE), national criminal search (idiCRIM), and alias reconciliation (idiALIAS) into a single integration, reducing friction for consumer reporting agencies and end-users.

Adoption depends on TazWorks customers enabling the integration and on technical fit within existing screening processes. Key risks include implementation speed and actual usage rates by CRAs rather than simple availability. Watch for early integration metrics and customer adoption signals over the next few quarters, starting from Oct. 20, 2025.
