Identity and Provisioning Management:
Why:
Organizations have identities of users and
customers spread across incompatible and independent
applications. Fast-forward to today's complex architectures,
and identities are still represented in any number of ways.
They can be found in Active Directory, relational databases,
LDAP directories, or stored in the cloud. Unfortunately,
all these different identity protocols act as a virtual tower of Babel,
preventing your applications from working together easily or sharing
information and functions between them.
Within such an independent system, manual provisioning
of identities is time taking and not real-time, authentication
is tougher than it needs to be because a user might have
conflicting entries across systems. Synchronization is also
increasingly difficult as you expand services or user base increases.
If attributes are scattered or locked in applications, each with its
own protocol, your synchronization and security processes cannot
access them. Inflexible, static, and hard-coded group membership
also hinders authorization policies. In short, these messy and overlapping
user stores make it impossible to deliver the seamless and integrated
experience you hope to offer your customers.
Before Implementing IDM
How : TSI brings expertise in Identity
Management solutions to integrate various applications under
Identity Management Platform by enabling organizations to have
automated provisioning, de- provisioning
and better management of identity access privileges spread across
various applications.
Identity Management solution saves your
IT team hundreds of hours. IDM solution is more regulated,
controlled and automated. When a user joins your organization,
transfers to another department or leaves, an intelligent
provisioning action (based on your policies) is triggered in real time.
Any event or even a change in a role for a short-term project modifies
the user's access privileges instantly and accurately.
After Implementing IDM:
Tool Set:
- CA Identity Manager
- Oracle Identity Manager
- Sun Identity Manager
