  Real-time Centralized User Access Management

  Former employees pose a potential threat to many businesses. With the right Identity Management solution in place, this security risk can be minimized. The moment an employee's status changes to 'dismissed' in an authoritative data source, your Identity Management solution will terminate the user's accounts and revoke all of their rights across the entire enterprise—instantly. Your confidential resources remain safe, and countless hours of tedious, error-prone, manual administration is eliminated. Your Identity Management solution may also be integrated with key HR and Payroll systems to ensure these systems are also made aware of the employee status change.

  Immediate Access to the Target Resources

  An Identity Management solution can ensure new users are productive sooner—providing immediate and appropriate access to essential business resources their first day on the job. User's accounts can be generated automatically—according to pre-defined business rules—then any necessary resources or services are supplied to the user instantly. A good Identity Management solution will make it quick and easy to manage user groups: automating granting of access rights to everyone with a given role (i.e., manager, executive, doctor, student, etc.) while ensuring consistent adherence to both corporate and regulatory policies across the organization.

  Password Management Simplified

  With an Identity Management solution in place, user passwords can be synchronized to provide a single password to all systems across the enterprise. Users are more likely to remember a single password and will appreciate the convenience single sign-on has to offer. In the event a user should forget their password, they have the ability to restore it themselves via an on-line self-service interface—helping them resume their work quickly while reducing the demands on help desk resources for password recovery and management support.

  Automate Routine User Management

  An Identity Management solution streamlines administration by automating routine user management tasks and enables users to perform some tasks themselves. As users switch offices, receive promotions, take on special assignments or begin new projects, they may need updated access rights or user profile information. When the user submits a change, your Identity Management solution can automatically update the users' rights and personal details across the enterprise.
