Novell Access Governance Suite

Reduced burden, complexity and cost

If you're still using a spreadsheet to track roles and entitlements, there's a better way. Our solutions help you automate time-consuming manual processes so that you can eliminate the increased risk and management burden associated with complex access control needs.

The Problem

Because today's enterprise is so complex, it is extremely difficult and costly to prove your organization's compliance with rules and regulations. Chances are, you use several different processes and systems to create roles, provision users and monitor access and entitlements. Manual processes are time-consuming and error prone, and when an audit rolls around, it's all but impossible to prove that those processes were followed correctly.

To make matters worse, if those systems track usage at all, they produce data that is not standardized, and they store logs all across the enterprise—from the users' local hard drives to a network storage array. Gathering the data you need to track access and prove compliance—and then making sense of it—can require hundreds of hours and wreak havoc with IT budgets.

The Solution

Access governance solutions from Novell drastically reduce the management burden associated with user roles and access rights. Using our technology, you can automate manual processes such as workflows and authorizations. And you can ensure that policies are followed every time, across systems and silos. That means the most time-consuming access management tasks are taken care of so IT staff and line-of-business managers can focus on value-added initiatives.

You can also greatly reduce the time and costs of preparing for audits. Our solutions collect, correlate and standardize access-related data from across the enterprise. No more searching for logs and combing through them to find relevant data. Our intelligent, metrics-driven technology shows you the information that needs attention in customizable and easy-to-use reports.
