Industry Takes Note as BMC Identity Management Solutions Earn Award
Nominations; Await Results
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As part of the annual
RSA Conference, BMC Software (NYSE: BMC) today announced the expansion of
the BMC Identity Management for .NET solution. Built on the Microsoft .NET
identity and access management platform, customers can easily integrate the
BMC .NET Identity Management solution across heterogeneous environments
through the use of Service Provisioning Markup Language (SPML)-enabled
provisioning connectors for Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 (ILM
2007).
"BMC's proven experience in providing identity and access management
solutions for heterogeneous environments makes them a strong industry
partner in helping to bring solutions for identity and access to a wide
range of customers," said Peter Houston, senior director of marketing for
Identity and Access at Microsoft Corp. "We are pleased to see our
relationship with BMC extend our platform's reach further into the
enterprise."
BMC is the first identity solution vendor to offer a standards-based
Web Service that enables the production-ready connectors from the BMC
Identity Management for .NET solution to be used within the .NET
environment. The service provides automated provisioning for resource
access management to more than 40 different enterprise platforms and
applications using customer-proven technology. Prior to this release,
customers were required to manually write management agents for each
application or platform, but now they can implement an out of the box
management agent that utilizes a centralized identity management system
based on the Microsoft identity and access platform.
According to Gartner, "Resource access management products offer
benefits to any organization that needs to manage Microsoft groups or that
wants to leverage its user-provisioning tool to create and manage roles and
groups on supported IT target systems." (Gartner, "Hype Cycle for Identity
and Access Management Technologies, 2006", by R. Witty and J. Enck, June
22, 2006.)
"Working with Microsoft, we are excited to deliver improved
functionality to the market and further expand Windows and .NET into the
identity management space," said Bob Worner, director of the Identity
Management Business Unit at BMC. "Compliance and auditing demands continue
to increase and global organizations turn to BMC Identity Management
solutions to address real business challenges and achieve impressive,
measurable results."
At this week's annual RSA conference, BMC Software is participating in
the Microsoft Partner Pavilion in booth #220 with more than 40 other
Microsoft partners in the security industry.
Recently, BMC was recognized as a leader in the identity and access
management space with its Identity Management Suite 5.5 being named a
finalist in the "Best Identity Management Solution" category for both the
SC Magazine and 2007 CODiE Awards. The winner of the SC Magazine award will
be announced during the RSA conference, and the 2007 CODiE award will be
presented at a gala event on April 17 in San Francisco.
