What is Identity Management?

Identity Management, often referred to as simply IDM, is the virtual representation of an enterprise resource user. Identity Management shows the rights and relationships a user has when interacting with a company’s network.

An Identity Management solution is a collective set of technologies for compliance, security, user provisioning and so much more. A complete Identity Management solution provides greater control over system access and reduces the involvement of IT staff regarding individual access support. Identity Management solutions are also necessary for compliance with several government mandates.

A secure and efficient operation is costly and complicated without a reliable, scalable and easy Identity Management solution.

How Does Identity Management Benefit Businesses?

Consider the process of adding a new hire to all of your business systems, including human resources, e-mail, phone, directory and network operating systems. How long will that take? How long is the process to remove a former employee from the same systems?

Identity Management connects core employee resource systems through one simple authoritative source eliminating the use of paper forms and phone calls to help desk support. Easy adjustments to a user’s account enables more secure systems, reduces operating costs and improves the quality of IT services.
