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>{{Cite web|url=https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/use-scim-to-provision-users-and-groups|title = Tutorial - Develop a SCIM endpoint for user provisioning to apps from Azure Active Directory}}</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 {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref> Zscaler,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://help.zscaler.com/zia/saml-scim-configuration-guide-azure-active-directory|title=SAML & SCIM Configuration Guide for Azure Active Directory &#124; Zscaler}}</ref> and Dropbox<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/third-party/update-dropbox-azure-ad-connector|title = Update to the newest Dropbox for Business application using Azure AD}}</ref>).
