SCIM is the second standard for exchanging user data, but it builds on prior standards (e.g. SPML, [[Portable Contacts|PortableContacts]], [[vCard]]s, and [[LDAP Data Interchange Format|LDAP directory services]]) in an attempt to be a simpler and more widely adopted solution for cloud services providers.<ref name="Ping-SCIM">{{cite web| title = SCIM: How It Works| website = PingIdentity.com| url = https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/client-library/articles/scim.html| format = Article| accessdate = July 28, 2020}}</ref><ref name="SCIM-19-intro">{{cite book | author= Internet Engineering Task Force, Network Working Group | title = System for Cross-Domain Identity Management: Core Schema | version = Draft 19 | date = May 11, 2015 | section = Section 1, Introduction | url = http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-scim-core-schema-19#section-1 | accessdate = 2015-05-11}}</ref>

The SCIM standard is growing in popularity and has been adopted by numerous identity providers (e.g. Azure Active Directory<ref>https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups</ref>) as well as applications (e.g. Dynamic Signal,<ref>https://support.dynamicsignal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360030415372-Connect-Dynamic-Signal-to-Azure-Active-Directory-for-User-Provisioning</ref> Zscaler,<ref>https://help.zscaler.com/zia/saml-scim-configuration-guide-azure-active-directory</ref> and Dropbox<ref>https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/update-dropbox-azure-ad-connector</ref>). As adoption of the standard grows, so do the number of tools available to you. The standard leverages a number of open-source libraries<ref>https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/identity-standards-blog/provisioning-with-scim-design-build-and-test-your-scim-endpoint/ba-p/1204883</ref> to facilitate development and testing frameworks<ref>https://github.com/AzureAD/SCIMReferenceCode/wiki/Test-Your-SCIM-Endpoint</ref> ensure that endpoint compliance with the SCIM standard.
