Global identity for use in a hybrid cloud network architecture

A method for creating global identity contexts across different information technology (IT) systems, the method comprising:

• registering, by a first server device, for each constituent in a plurality of constituents, one or more accounts for the constituent, wherein each account of the one or more accounts is associated with one or more local identifiers that identifies the constituent within a context of a particular service;
• performing, by a second server device, individualization to establish an individual identifier for each unique constituent based on one or more attributes;
• and
• mapping, by the second server device, each account of the one or more accounts to a particular individual identifier and the one or more local identifiers,
• wherein the first server device and the second server device are communicatively coupled to an application programming interface (API) gateway via a network,
• wherein performing individualization comprises:
• receiving a transaction record from a system of record;
• processing the transaction record to generate a standard record that contains at least some attributes from the transaction record;
• matching the standard record to one or more keys;
• generating a list of candidates by comparing the one or more keys to a plurality of golden records matching unique individuals;
• and
• responsive to the list of candidates being empty, creating a new golden record based on the standard record and associating a new individual identifier with the new golden record, or
• responsive to the list of candidates including at least one individual identifier, generating scores for each candidate in the list of candidates.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to create global identity contexts across different information technology (IT) systems by performing steps comprising:

• registering, for each constituent in a plurality of constituents, one or more accounts for the constituent, wherein each account of the one or more accounts is associated with one or more local identifiers that identifies the constituent within a context of a particular service;
• performing individualization to establish an individual identifier for each unique constituent based on one or more attributes;
• and
• mapping each account of the one or more accounts to a particular individual identifier and the one or more local identifiers,
• wherein performing individualization comprises:
• receiving a transaction record from a system of record;
• processing the transaction record to generate a standard record that contains at least some attributes from the transaction record;
• matching the standard record to one or more keys;
• generating a list of candidates by comparing the one or more keys to a plurality of golden records matching unique individuals;
• and
• responsive to the list of candidates being empty, creating a new golden record based on the standard record and associating a new individual identifier with the new golden record, or
• responsive to the list of candidates including at least one individual identifier, generating scores for each candidate in the list of candidates.
