TriCipher Customer Ingres Achieves Best Practices for Cloud-Based Identity and Access Management as Defined by Leading Independent Research Firm
myOneLogin's Ease of Use, Seamless Integration with Legacy Systems and Rapid ROI Meet Top Industry Practices
LOS GATOS, Calif. (August 31, 2009) — TriCipher, the leader in on-demand identity services, today announced that Ingres Corporation is leveraging TriCipher’s myOneLogin solution to achieve best practices for cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) defined in Forrester Research’s August 2009 report "Best Practices: Identity Management In The Cloud."
The report highlights three core best practices for successful IAM adoption: 1
- Focus on the end-user experience
- Integrate with your Active Directory and LDAP
- Include hosted IAM in your cost-benefit model
myOneLogin gives end-users the ability to quickly and securely log into all their online applications using a single username and password. The result: fewer forgotten passwords and fewer costly password resets. The solution is delivered as a service and seamlessly integrates with legacy systems including Active Directory and LDAP. myOneLogin delivers nearly instant return on investment (ROI) because it requires no prior hardware or software installation and can be deployed in a matter of days.
"Organizations that have successfully adopted hosted IAM look to improve the overall end-user experience and move IAM out of the back office to the user’s desktop," wrote Andras Cser, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research in the Best Practices report. "Ingres… knew that it needed to reform its online community by improving its ease of use, particularly in the area of identity management…Along with reaping the benefits of cost savings and improved security, Ingres also greatly enhanced its online community’s customer experience."
"Cloud-based IAM reduces username and password complexity for our customers significantly and improves their overall experience," said Doug Harr, CIO at Ingres Corporation. "One username and password gives them seamless and secure access to all of our open source corporate and community Web sites."
myOneLogin offers scalable levels of protection and works with any Web-based application that uses federation standards or a routine username and password. The technology helps businesses automatically provision and de-provision online applications users – saving money on unused applications and protecting companies from unauthorized application access. TriCipher technology is deployed across several core verticals including electronic payment networks, financial services, healthcare and technology.
"Cloud applications have clearly become the preferred method for software delivery across industries and the continued success of cloud-based identity and access management solutions comes as a direct result of that trend," said John De Santis, Chairman and CEO at TriCipher. "Forrester's identification of best practices for this space truly reflects the market for this type of technology and directly aligns with our clients’ core convenience and security needs."
