Oracle® Identity Management delivers first integrated identity and access solutions that extend support for all major applications, directories and platforms

The release delivers the industry's most complete identity solution to safeguard information, critical systems and applications against unauthorized access across heterogeneous computing environments.

Serving as the security backbone for Oracle Fusion Middleware, the new release brings together the best identity management capabilities from Oracle and Oblix and further extends support for heterogeneous systems.

Regional organizations can use the solution to manage enterprise-wide identities for Oracle and non-Oracle technologies. The product extends support for all leading applications, directories and platforms.

"When we acquired Oblix, Oracle provided an outline for how we would rapidly integrate Oblix technology with Oracle's existing identity offerings," said Husam Dajani, vice president, Oracle Middle East and Africa. "This release marks the first milestone delivering on that commitment and brings together the best features and technologies that will help us to meet strong regional demand for Oracle's identity products."

With increasingly complex information technology ecosystems, organizations in the Middle East are seeking comprehensive solutions that provide secure access across all systems. For example, an enterprise running an IBM database, SAP applications and an LDAP directory from Microsoft can use a single identity solution ¡V Oracle Identity Management throughout its enterprise.

Previously, organizations were tasked with deploying multiple point solutions to manage user identities for specific systems and applications.
