Evidian launches IAM NOW > initiative to boost the deployment of identity and access management in large organizations

With IAM NOW > ("Identity and Access Management NOW") Evidian facilitates the deployment of global identity and access management (IAM) solutions and provides rapid return on investment. 

Paris, May 24, 2005. Evidian today announces IAM NOW > , a program dedicated to large organizations wishing to reinforce their agility, reduce their costs, increase their overall security level and strengthen regulatory compliance. IAM NOW > has been conceived to facilitate the deployment of unified identity and access management infrastructures, with rapid ROI.

With its white papers, modular packaged solutions and dedicated services, IAM NOW > is meant to help organizations to identify key priorities for a rapid return on investment. IAM NOW > also enables the deployment of a modular, step-by-step, global and integrated approach to identity management.

"In today's networked world, IAM has become a major challenge for most large organizations" said Philippe Destison, COO of Evidian. "Having to master complex, heterogeneous IT environments, organizations today have two possibilities: either use part of an IAM solution to answer short-term requirements, or deploy Identity and Access Management infrastructures. IAM NOW > is an all-in-one answer”.

IAM NOW > benefits include:

• Enhancement of user productivity and reduction of helpdesk costs, including the deployment of SSO
• Deployment of new secure online B2E, B2B and B2C services
• Identity administration cost reduction and reinforced security and agility with the Virtual Identity Manager and provisioning
• Strengthened regulation compliance (Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II, HIPAA,…) with access control and audit

Based on the modular and integrated components of AccessMaster 7.0, IAM NOW > enables the progressive deployment of identity management. While offering investment optimization and rapid ROI, IAM NOW > facilitates the evolution towards global and integrated identity and access management, a key for competitiveness.
