EmpowerID Selected By Leading Insurance Software Provider

We recently won a large bake off of IDM vendors in which a customer was looking for a platform to use as the basis to build their cloud IDM solution. Some of the key factors for which we were selected included our extensibility due to our Windows Workflow Foundation core and design studio as well as our claims-based federated metadirectory built on the Microsoft Windows Identity Foundation.

Feedback on EmpowerID from Miss MIIS at TEC 2010

The Experts Conference lives up to its name as a great place to meet experts in the field of Identity Management and Active Directory. This year was no different and the crowd just keeps getting better. One of the experts we had the pleasure of showing our latest version of EmpowerID was Carol Wapshere known as Miss MIIS. She is a Microsoft ILM (FIM) MVP and all around knowledgeable expert. I just came across a post on her blog where she gives her opinion on EmpowerID and how she sees it fitting in to the overall Microsoft-focused IDM space.

Thanks for the feedback Carol :-)

Excerpt:
"It brings in many of the key features of FIM – metadirectory, multiple data sources, password sync and reset, Sharepoint portal, workflow, de/provisioning, group management… It also natively includes features that FIM is sorely lacking – in particular decent reporting and the native ability to manage resources such as home folders, Exchange mailboxes and Sharepoint sites. The product comes with a long list of procedures and workflows already programmed out of the box, but you can also add your own.  I was particularly impressed with the way they’d encorporated Windows Workflow Foundation directly into the product, allowing you to build your workflows right there in the interface, without have to muck around with Visual Studio, compiling and importing dll’s. This is an impressive looking product and I’d be interested to see how it performs in a large-scale environment."
