The "Real Enterprise" extends anywhere your business processes reach: internally to users, departments and divisions, and externally to customers, managed service providers, and trusted business partners. Unfortunately, conventional user provisioning products have yet to prove viable for supporting "Real Enterprise" business processes that span firewalls; they do not have a cost-effective and secure method to define polices, workflow, and other elements required for production-class provisioning across domains.

Fischer Global Provisioner is a patent-pending solution that cost-effectively extends production-class provisioning and compliance capabilities beyond firewalls, and into multi-domain and multi-enterprise environments. Fischer Global Provisioner enables organizations to accomplish in seconds what formerly took weeks to achieve using conventional Identity Management technology. Our flexible, forward-looking approach is a simple, elegant extension to our industry-leading SOA-compliant Global Identity Architecture™ built on a powerful integration technology. Finally,  multi-domain and multi-enterprise provisioning has been made simple, scaleable, rapid-to-deploy, and cost effective.

Cross Domain Connectivity

Fischer Global Provisioner can scale from a single target on one remote domain, to full platform support on many different domains by connecting to systems across HTTP connections using strong, certificate based security. Customers may choose to implement Global Provisioner using SSL or WS-Security. Additionally, communications may be configured to transmit provisioning data as XML, SPML, or another payload. Security and communications options are easily configured for each domain using Fischer's Point & Click administrative user interface. Fischer's Connectivity Component Architecture enables the use of the secure channel for Design-Time Workflow configurations, as well as at Run-Time, while executing provisioning workflows.

Connectivity options are presented in the scenarios below. These scenarios enable real-time, event-driven provisioning, full audit trail, policy enforcement, and approval authorities in any domain.

• Scenario 1: Provisioning directly with Web Services-compliant applications: Web Services-compliant and SPML-compliant applications on remote domains may be provisioned directly by Fischer Global Provisioner.
  
• Scenario 2: Provisioning through the Global Identity Gateway: The Global Identity Gateway is a Fischer exclusive that provides easy and cost-effective out-of-the-box connectivity for a very wide array of applications and systems. It eliminates the requirements for programming, scripting, proxy servers and duplication of the solution when extending across enterprises or domains. Connectivity can also be extended to additional systems and applications as required.  
  
• Scenario 3: Provisioning with a remote instance of the Fischer Provisioning module: Running an additional instance of Fischer Provisioning is not required, but provides additional flexibility of control.
