Covisint Trusted Authorization Manager Efficiently and Securely Provides
External Users With Access to Business Processes, Applications and
Information
DETROIT, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compuware Corporation
(Nasdaq: CPWR) continued to build upon its on-demand security platform,
extending the company's June 26, 2007, introduction of Covisint Trusted
Identity Broker by today launching Covisint Trusted Authorization Manager.
This Covisint solution provides an outsourced identity management offering
that makes the provisioning and management of access to external identities
simple, secure, fast and repeatable.
Organizations often need to share internal and/or third-party
applications and information with targeted external groups. Competing
entities also may need to cooperate on a single project, or, enterprises
involved in a divestiture or acquisition may need to provide access to a
limited set of information or applications. These complex situations
present difficult requirements for provisioning and access management that
traditional solutions do not solve. Additionally, the sensitivity and
politically charged nature of cross-enterprise information sharing is best
managed by an independent third-party that controls and audits the
transactions in a way that is trusted by all involved.
"The identity management market continues to enjoy phenomenal growth,
but until now the industry hasn't produced a viable option for hosted
identity services," said Mike Neuenschwander, Vice President and Research
Director, Burton Group. "Covisint's Trusted Authorization Manager offers
enterprise customers an important architectural option for outsourcing
account management for external users."
With Trusted Authorization Manager, Covisint provides an independent,
third-party model to securely broker access and information -- enabling
information sharing in an efficient and trusted manner. Trusted
Authorization Manager provides an outsourced architecture with configurable
workflows for provisioning access grants while assisting the customer with
regulatory compliance. It can be implemented quickly without a major,
up-front investment, and it enables cross-company and cross-community
integration and collaboration.
"Business success means securely collaborating with business partners
globally 24-hours a day," said David Miller, Chief Security Officer of
Compuware Covisint. "Trusted Authorization Manager is part of Covisint's
overall strategy to provide security and access management solutions for
entire communities of stakeholders -- such as partners, suppliers, vendors
or contractors. Covisint gives business the confidence it needs that the
right people have access to the right information anywhere in the world,
anytime."
Compuware Covisint turns the extended enterprise into a competitive
advantage for 250,000 users at 30,000 organizations worldwide. Covisint's
highly available platform provides an on-demand infrastructure for secure
collaboration, interoperability and access to information. Covisint
streamlines and automates business processes, globally connecting business
communities, organizations and systems in the manufacturing, healthcare,
aerospace, public sector and financial services industries.
