Identity Management

Identity Management Issues

Maintaining secure electronic identities (login names, passwords, employee information etc.) is increasingly important as new business systems are exposed onto the Internet and are accessed from a wide range of mobile devices to facilitate flexible working. Organisations need a secure way to not only manage access to these systems, but also identify who is actually accessing business applications.

Whilst adoption of a core directory service such as Microsoft Active Directory will help meet this challenge, issues can often remain with applications that are unable to natively integrate with the chosen directory service. These applications end up with their own isolated directory stores that actually duplicate login and other information with each deployment.

Identity Management Solutions

To help organisations maintain these independent information stores, Telamon has developed an Integrated Identity Management solution (I2M) that can automatically manage the identity lifecycle (start, management, finish) of employees and their access to multiple systems. I2M was created using our experience and understanding of identity management issues and from listening to customer concerns where we found the main issues to be:

• Keeping data accurate and consistent across separate applications
• Ensuring people only have access to the right systems
• Timely provision and removal or disabling of user permissions
• Difficulty in enabling staff, business partners and customers to access this information easily

Benefits of Identity Management

I2M is a fully integrated solution that addresses these identity management issues quickly and securely. I2M can integrate information from a wide variety of sources and systems, giving you back control of your environment and enabling you to establish a manageable, secure infrastructure. I2M will benefit you by:

• Reducing administration costs
• Improve business information accuracy
• Improve efficiency through “Zero day start” capabilities
• Reduce risk with “Zero day finish” initiatives
• Increase system security
• Provide roles-based access to selected systems

Telamon’s identity management solutions enable organisations to build a single, secure, well managed electronic identity for each employee – putting your mind at rest.
