Oracle, Wipro offer identity management

BANGALORE, INDIA: Oracle and Wipro Technologies today announced worldwide availability of managed identity services.

The new managed service offering utilizes leading components comprising Oracle Identity Management, a component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, and helps organizations reduce identity management related costs, enhance security and streamline regulatory compliance across the enterprise.

Designed to meet the requirements of organizations that seek the benefits of enterprise identity management at lower upfront costs and assured service levels, managed identity services provides SLA (service level agreement) based guaranteed managed services for the operation, deployment, subsequent enhancement and management of a customer's identity management infrastructure.

The offering couples Oracle's identity and access management functionality with service and management from Wipro and spans key functional areas including user provisioning, directory services, access control, enterprise single sign-on and identity federation.

With managed identity services, organizations can more quickly on-board users across the organization and better ensure compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI and HIPAA.

"Heightened compliance and security regulations make identity and access management a critical component of today's enterprise. However, many organizations lack the resources to deploy and manage a comprehensive identity management infrastructure," said Hasan Rizvi, vice president, Identity and Security Products, Oracle.
