The Challenges of Identity Management

Every company has an identity/access strategy that includes user profiles, system access, business roles, and application roles. Identity Management (IdM) encompasses the business processes and technologies needed to manage:

• The lifecycle of an identity (IT and physical)
• The identity’s relationship to business applications and services both inside and outside the company
• The systems and applications both internal and external users are permitted to access
• The need to prepare and publish reports that demonstrate compliance with laws and regulations affecting data security.

In addition, identity management is vital to protecting your business’ information assets and to complying with governmental regulations such as Sarbanes Oxley, FERPA, and HIPAA.

By developing custom solutions for a client’s identity management needs, Laurus empowers businesses to expand and deepen relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners.

By providing a secure, reliable, and auditable platform, your business can rapidly bring on and manage user accounts and rollouts, reducing costs and frustrations associated with the expansion of applications and services to the users of your organization.

Benefits of Identity Management

Identity management offers a way to reduce the cost of enterprise user account management throughout the employee life cycle. The return on investment for implementing an effective identity management strategy can be significant, including:

• Faster provisioning and approval of new users with streamlined access based on employee role.
• Improved ERP account administration efficiency
• Greater customer satisfaction of portal services with self-service account management and single sign-on authentication thanks to increased speed of bringing employees or customers online with new application
• Significantly reduced cost of administration
• Lowered risk through the ability to report on “who has access to what systems” at any point in time
• Reduced user frustration associated with requirements of multiple non-integrated authentication methods

Laurus identity management solutions help you implement password policies across enterprise to address compliance and provide for automated account provisioning from PeopleSoft or other human resources systems.
