Identity and Access Management

User Provisioning and Management

Today, your users access information within your network environment as well as SaaS applications beyond your firewall.

Additionally, you have a growing community of users that are external to your enterprise, including partners, suppliers and customers. How do you allow trusted users to connect with the vital resources they need while maintaining control over a wide range of network environments, users, role changes and entitlements?

The Novell identity framework is a single, integrated backbone that automates the management of thousands of user identities inside and outside your enterprise. With Novell Identity and Access Management solutions, you need just one user-provisioning framework to manage your physical, virtual and cloud environments, accurately and intelligently.

Backed by over 25 years of experience and 6,000 deployments, our industry-leading solutions will help you become a more intelligent, secure and cloud-ready enterprise by:

• Enabling complete control over the management, provisioning and de-provisioning of identities in physical, virtual and cloud environments
• Extending enterprise-compliant processes to your SaaS applications securely and with sustainability
• Ensuring enterprise security policies are consistent across business domains
• Offering comprehensive, activity-level reporting on who has access to what
• Increasing user satisfaction and productivity through business-friendly user interfaces that map seamlessly into your existing or chosen user interface
• Adapting to your environment so you can keep your existing policies, while adding intelligence that alerts you when proposed changes conflict with your current policy infrastructure

Novell solutions link all your business systems, including HR, directories, operating platforms, e-mail, network storage and partner systems. When you add a new user, his or her identity is provisioned automatically, and his or her access permissions, passwords and identity are synchronized across your networked systems.

De-provisioning and handling role changes are just as simple. An event—such as relocating, completing a project or joining a partner organization—triggers an automated workflow that instantly modifies or revokes access privileges. This mitigates risk that can result from manual errors while sparing your IT professionals tedious, hands-on administration so they can focus on driving your strategic initiatives.

Out of the box, Novell solutions provide intuitive reports that give visibility into who is accessing network resources across your enterprise, even your SaaS applications. These predefined reports clearly display associations among users, resources and events in both current state and historically. As a result, they can support regulatory compliance and assure partners and customers that your networks—and their data—are safe.

The Novell intelligent identity framework also creates a seamless experience for your users, helping them to be more productive. New employees don't have to wait days to access applications or Web-based content. Now, they can get their jobs done from the moment they join your organization, no matter where they are working.
