OpenNetwork's Universal Identity Platform Becomes the Industry's First Identity Management Product Available for Web Download

   Company Offers Users Free 30-Day Evaluation of Standard Edition Product

    CLEARWATER, Fla., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenNetwork Technologies, a
leading provider of non-intrusive identity management solutions, today
announced that its Universal Identity Platform 5.0 Standard Edition (IdP) will
be available for immediate download from its Web site at
http://www.opennetwork.com/eval . Universal IdP is the only product of its kind that
is available for a free 30-day evaluation as a simple download.
    The new program is part of OpenNetwork's campaign to make the platform
widely available so that prospects and customers can experience its immediate
business benefits. The Web-available product is the full version of the
company's Standard Edition that offers Web access, single sign-on, delegated
administration, comprehensive management, auditing capabilities and much more.
It also includes full documentation and a 45-minute tutorial to help
developers get started.
    For businesses looking to implement a phased approach to identity
management, the Standard Edition provides an easy migration path to the
Universal IdP Enterprise Edition with added functionality for business process
management, automated workflow and provisioning.
    Universal IdP takes advantage of the reliability, scalability and
functionality of Microsoft technology, and extends its value as an identity
infrastructure to other environments. Universal IdP is the industry's only
identity management solution built in the .NET Framework. It is also the only
product that eliminates the need for expensive point solutions because it
leverages Microsoft directory and meta-directory services, the .NET Framework
and Web Services for end-to-end identity management across applications, users
and locations inside and outside the enterprise.
    "The level of integration between OpenNetwork's Universal IdP and
Windows Server provides our mutual customers with an end-to-end identity
management solution," said Michael Stephenson, group product manager for
Windows Server at Microsoft. "Making the product accessible with a
downloadable version will enable more customers to realize the benefits of a
solution that fully leverages the scalability, reliability, and security of
Windows Server 2003 including Active Directory, ADAM, MIIS, IIS 6.0."
    "We are excited to make IdP available to prospects, partners and customers
via the Web, which is really cutting edge in our industry," said Bob Worner,
vice president of engineering for OpenNetwork. "We are confident that the
program will allow users to witness firsthand that our solution is simple to
implement, yet extremely powerful in its functionality and can deliver
immediate business benefits."
