For anyone who was unable to attend the Gartner IAM Summit 2012, watch watch our keynote presentation and customer videos. It was refreshing to hear Gartner promote the vision Avatier has advocated over the last 5 years. As mentioned in the Gartner keynote, the approach to IAM needs a user-centric rather than a technical focus. It was great to see Gartner promote programming-free adaptive IAM over code-driven prescriptive IAM. You can see an example of one of our user-centric adaptive solutions, in Identity Enforcer, a self-service actionable icon-driven IT catalog as well as the entire Avatier Identity Management Suite (AIMS) at www.avatier.com.
Avatier's business driven view of IAM encompasses a holistic definition. We like to refer to this as IAM HD, which includes user provisioning, access governance, risk intelligence and password management. Over the next 5 years, IAM HD will provide all the features of requesting, approving, tracking and granting assignments instead of merely providing application access. IAM HD is a broader vision that manages these activities and more as one unified solution.
Avatier's vision of IAM HD is to protect your brand, guard your data and increase your business productivity by further securing and automating your IT operations. You can learn more about how Avatier is transforming IAM by tuning into our YouTube channel at youtube.com/avatiercorp. If you are interested in looking beyond merely managing application access to the broader issue of managing all assignments, we encourage you to check out the latest white paper from KuppingerCole, the only analyst firm soley focused on identity and access management.
