Resource Provisioning enables heterogeneous networks and applications across the enterprise to synchronize to a unified user, security and management source. It leverages Directory Services to create a common infrastructure that turns silos of authentication, privileges and resources into a cohesive solution. Resource Provisioning is essential because it provides user management efficiencies, IT and HR cost savings, and results in greater business agility and security.

Why You Need Resource Provisioning
Most portals, applications and databases have their own local store of user profiles and credentials, and use different management consoles. To add, update or delete information for even one user can entail anywhere from seven to more than 30 different profiles and consoles. In addition, as networks are increasingly extended to partners and customers, the increase in volume and the need for network security and efficiency is compounded. The time and cost can consume large parts of the IT budget. It is not uncommon for network administrators to simply not have enough time to make all changes. This creates security vulnerabilities because it can give inappropriate access to current users, or leave network access open to former users.

Resource Provisioning enables enterprises to quickly get approved users the network access and information they need because all systems synchronize to the same set of user profiles, privileges and credentials. It enables custom portals to automatically be created with everything each user needs based on job function. In addition, users can be defined as members of a group, and still have the flexibility for specific individual needs. It provides the necessary foundation to leverage all resources as a competitive business advantage. By integrating user management across all systems, your business structure is streamlined and enterprise applications, information and management are consolidated to ensure increased enterprise security.
