Password Management:
Choosing a Password Management Product? Then Look at Provisioning First.
Fischer provides more value and capability than any other password management product because we have the most advanced and robust provisioning solution available. That’s right, provisioning solution. Provisioning products go hand-in-hand with password management and most organizations should consider one vendor to provide both solutions. However, provisioning is far more complex and has much larger compliance, business efficiency, and cost implications. Since conventional provisioning products are notorious for costing more and delivering less than expected, organizations are headed for disappointment at best and disaster at worse if they do not evaluate the vendor’s provisioning product when selecting their Password Management solution.
Fischer has a long history in security and technology innovation, which is why we avoided the mistakes of others We built a Global Identity Architecture – an advanced platform that enables ALL identity technologies to be delivered in the most flexible, efficient, and cost-effective way possible, whether deployed incrementally or simultaneously. So even if you deploy only Fischer Password Management, you still receive all the benefits and value of Fischer’s advanced architecture, including a consolidated audit database of all identity-related events, out-of-the-box connectivity, cross-domain and cross-enterprise user support and policy enforcement, and more. Additionally, all the work to configure and deploy password management is fully leveraged when you add other Fischer capabilities: provisioning, high privilege account management, and user self service. The value and speed of delivery are compounded with each new capability that is added. That’s the benefit of choosing a password management solution created by an innovative Identity vendor and why Fischer Identity is the best tactical and strategic Identity decision that an organization can make.
