Identity Management holds the key to much-needed administrative and cost efficiencies.

Identity and Access Management are about managing the user digital identity from the time the user joins an organization until the time the user leaves an organization. The user may be a full-time employee, partner, summer student, consultant, volunteer: anyone that requires access to corporate information. We do not make any distinction on the type of user and from where the user may access information.

There are two significant components to an Identity and Access Management framework:

User Life Cycle Process - The process of capturing, storing, managing and deleting user digital identity (personal information and resource provisioning) on such events as when a user joins, changes roles, or leaves the organization.

Access Management - Once the information is captured, this component takes care of identifying, authenticating and determining access entitlements.

Issues that we solve

• A client has 9000 full-time employees listed in the HR system. The user table of one of the organization's critical applications has over 17,000 user entries.
• A client has 14 instances of user information in various application tables. The information particulars for any user differ in many of those instances.
• A client's user has five different passwords to manage with each password having a different password management and authentication system.
• A client's user who has a VPN account leaves the organization to join a competitor, but the system administrator is not notified. Account is still accessible after a month.
• During a company's audit, the auditor has to review several audit trails from different applications. Some of the applications do not provide adequate information.
• It takes up to 10 days for a user to be provisioned with resources. There is no central repository and processes to determine what has been provisioned.
• A 12,000 user organization with an average of five different passwords for each user has a sizable support team simply to reset passwords.
• A client acquired a competitor and wishes to merge customer directories. But the directories contain similar names. Is John Doe the same person as John A. Doe?

If your organization faces any of these issues then call us for a FREE half-a-day workshop to provide your management with a good understanding of Identity Management concepts in your environment.
