EMS-IC Identity Management

Identity Managment Service Overview

Is it becoming more complex and expensive to secure the multiple systems in use at your firm? Does the pace of regulations, policies, and application changes affect your ability to support a secure, sustainable environment? Do you have difficulty managing the proliferation of often-conflicting user/ identity/ role information across multiple systems? Have you explored pursuing a strategy of adopting an Identity Management (IdM) solution that will help manage user identities and provide role- and rule-based access to critical application resources?

EMS-IC can assist your organization by defining an Enterprise Identity and Access Management strategy. We specialize in integrating business processes, policies and technologies to create a comprehensive identity- and role-based approach to managing your organization’s resources and identities.

Many of the key business drivers that we identify in working with our customers are likely issues that you’ve run into in your organization. Are you looking to address or provide any of the following to your internal or external constituents?

• Simplified and Personalized End-User/Customer Experience
• Streamlined Operations
• Intellectual Property Protection and Security
• Risk Mitigation
• Improved Auditability
• Operational Efficiency and Cost Containment (e.g. reduce IT support costs)
• Fraud Detection and Prevention Measures

If addressing any of the above is a concern for your organization, EMS-IC can provide the proper value analysis and assist with developing a roadmap that can help you achieve your goals, from providing central management and automation of identity provisioning implementing comprehensive governance in Oracle’s IdM Suite.

EMS-IC will work with your internal team, hand and hand, to provide a cohesive solution around user provisioning, reduced sign-on, and access management reporting. We have the solution architects, IdM deployment experts, functional analysts, and project managers with experience in implementing IdM solutions in your business vertical, stream-lining your planning and implementation projects, and providing you with an end-result that matches your needs as well as your budget.  

Reaching your IdM Goals

Through our experience and extensive research, our teams is able to deploy a “standards-based”, data-driven modular IdM architecture, which can quickly enable centralized enterprise-wide identity and role-based access mechanisms.

As noted earlier, we are able to provide the expertise you need, and follow best practices from both a technical and functional perspective. Some areas to take into account in developing your IdM architecture are:

• Externalization and centralization of access management for applications, devices and resources
• Virtualization and controlled access to identity and policy data
• Centralization of auditing and reporting
• Self-service and delegated administration of identities and access

On the four points above, as well as in the integration of the business and technical aspects of your identity management requirements, EMS-IC can assist in the planning and deployment of your security architecture. From assisting your organization in implementing Oracle Identity Manager (OIM), which provides a centralized identity system to manage access to Oracle EBS/PeopleSoft and other applications, we can help you figure out the best ways to provision user accounts, manage user roles/ groups/ responsibilities, and define memberships across various business communities/ applications. Similarly, we have leading experience in implementing Oracle’s Access Manager (OAM) to provide an improved user experience and enhanced security through the use of single-sign-on (SSO) and global logout functionality.

In conjunction with your business and technical experts, we can help you develop a IdM charter focused on best practice for Oracle’s Identity Management solutions. This charter will cover the implementation of a fully integrated and comprehensive enterprise platform that will contribute to business risk reduction, ensure regulatory, legal, and corporate policy compliance, and streamline the user experience—all while in alignment with enterprise level architecture, standards and platforms.
