The standard was initially called '''''Simple Cloud Identity Management''''' (and is still called this in some places), but the name was officially changed to ''System for Cross-___domain Identity Management (SCIM)'' when the IETF adopted it.<ref>{{cite web |last= Hunt |first= Phil |title= Standards Corner: SCIM and the Shifting Enterprise Identity Center of Gravity |website= Oracle Fusion Middleware (blog) |publisher= Oracle |date= February 27, 2014 |url = https://blogs.oracle.com/fusionmiddleware/entry/standards_corner_scim_and_the | accessdate= May 17, 2015 }}</ref>

[[Interoperability]] was demonstrated in October, 2011, at the Cloud Identity Summit, an [[Identity management|IAM]] industry conference. There, user accounts were provisioned and de-provisioned across separate systems using SCIM standards, by a collection of [[Identity management system|IdM software]] vendors: [[Okta (identity management)|Okta]],[[CyberArk]], [[Ping Identity]], [[SailPoint]], [[Technology Nexus]] and [[UnboundID]].<ref name="SailPoint" /> In March 2012, at IETF 83 in Paris, [[interoperability]] tests continued by the same vendors, joined by [[Salesforce.com]], BCPSoft, WSO2, Gluu, and Courion (now [[SecureAuth]]) nine companies in total.<ref>{{cite web | title = Logistics and attendee info for the March 2012 SCIM interop event | website = SCIM, Simple Cloud Identity Management | date = April 26, 2012 | url = https://code.google.com/p/scim/wiki/FirstInteropEvent | accessdate = May 11, 2015}}</ref>

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>
