Tivoli Identity Management

Identity data is critical for business operations, but it is one of the most

difficult areas to manage in today’s heterogeneous IT environments.

Identity management focuses on consolidating user data from different

sources and simplifying and automating the handling of data so administrators

can better control the environment. An identity management solution

should be flexible and expandable with the environment it supports. It

also should leverage the consolidation of user data for use in other initiatives

Simply put, identity management means building an ecosystem around user

identities. A good identity management solution can be expanded to every

initiative in the business, including privacy, supply-chain management,

enterprise resource planning, customer relationship management, portal

membership management, e-provisioning, single sign-on, access management,

personalization, directory enablement and certificate management. An identity

management solution should allow businesses to take control of their

relationships with users.
