Automate Information Access with Identity Management

Challenge
Are you still provisioning and de-provisioning users manually? Would you like to manage organisation-wide user verification and authorisation from a single point of access, be able to ensure robust security and set up pervasive identity management?

Microsoft Solution
Microsoft's integrated identity management solution enables you to build a secure environment for managing user identities, authentication and access rights.
It is robust and easy to manage with a unified view of each user across the institution.
Microsoft's commitment to interoperability and open standards, along with our extensive partnerships, provide the foundation for identity integration across disparate platforms and between institutions.

Potential benefits
  • Manage organisation-wide user verification and authorisation from a single point of access, and allow users to manage their own passwords across all directories, minimising administration and help desk calls.
  • Set up pervasive identity management incorporating authentication, authorisation and secure communication through individual portal sites featuring applications and resources, with the assurance that critical data is protected.

Case Study

"The solution supports UNIX®, Apple®"
and Microsoft Windows Active Directory and it is flexible and easy to scale. Replacing ad hoc systems with an integrated approach and a rules-based system has saved time and management overhead, while strengthening security.”

David Glance, IT Policy Executive Officer, The University of Western Australia.

The University of Western Australia

The University of Western Australia used the Microsoft platform to create an identity management solution that enables their 17,000 students and 3,500 staff to access applications, email and resources securely on any computer. Using Microsoft .NET technologies and Microsoft Windows Active Directory, IT Policy Executive Officer, David Glance and his team created a solution which enables students to connect to multiple systems using just one password to authenticate themselves.
