Identity Management is an enabling technology for businesses to expand and deepen relationships with customers, suppliers, and partners. By providing a secure, reliable, and auditable platform, your business can rapidly onboard and manage user accounts and rollouts. Identity Management will reduce costs and frustrations associated with the expansion of applications and services to the users of your organization.

Identity Management is vital to protecting your business's information assets and to comply with governmental regulations, such as Sarbanes Oxley, FERPA, and HIPAA.

Identity Management is a solution to reduce the cost and improve operational efficiencies of managing enterprise user accounts throughout the entire employee life cycle.

Whether your company is in the Fortune 100 or a medium sized, privately held organization, the return on investment for implementing an effective identity management strategy can pay significant dividends. Some examples include:

• Increase SAP account administration efficiency
• Increase customer satisfaction of portal services with self service account management and single sign on authentication
• Increase speed of on-boarding employees or customers online with new applications
• Reduce cost of Active Directory migration
• Reduce risk by being able report on "who has access to what systems" at any point in time
• Reduce risk by being able to produce a "who has access to what systems" at any point in time
• Implement password policies across enterprise to address compliance
• Automate account provisioning from PeopleSoft or other Human Resources system
• Reduce user frustration associated with requirements of multiple non-integrated authentication methods including passwords, proximity cards, smart cards, and tokens.
• Reduce error and increase user productivity.
• Reduce security risks associated with the inappropriate application of weak authentication.
