The Oracle Platform
- by Naresh Persaud
Today’s enterprises typically create identity management infrastructures using ad-hoc, multiple point solutions. Relying on point solutions introduces complexity and high cost of ownership leading many organizations to rethink this approach. In a recent worldwide study of 160 companies conducted by Aberdeen Research, there was a discernible shift in this trend as businesses are now looking to move away from the point solution approach from multiple vendors and adopt an integrated platform approach. By deploying a comprehensive identity and access management strategy using a single platform, companies are saving as much as 48% in IT costs, while reducing audit deficiencies by nearly 35%.
According to Aberdeen's research, choosing an integrated suite or “platform” of solutions for Identity Management from a single vendor can have many advantages over choosing “point solutions” from multiple vendors. The Oracle Identity Management Platform is uniquely designed to offer several compelling benefits to our customers.
Shared
Services: Instead of
separate solutions for - Administration, Authentication, Authorization, Audit and so on– Oracle Identity Management offers a set of share services that allows these services to
be consumed by each component in the stack and by developers of new
applications
Actionable
Intelligence: The most compelling benefit of the Oracle platform is ” Actionable
intelligence” which means if there is a compliance violation, the same platform can fix
it. And If a user is logging in from an un-trusted device or we detect an attack and act proactively on that information.
Suite
Interoperability: With the oracle platform the components all connect and integrated with each
other. So if an organization purchase the platform for provisioning and wants to manage access, then the same platform can offer access management which leads to cost savings.
Extensible
and Configurable: With point
solutions – you typically get limited ability to extend the tool to address
custom requirements. But with the Oracle platform all of the components have a common
way to extend the UI and behavior
