NetIQ announces Identity Manager 4.5

NetIQ has announced the general availability of Identity Manager 4.5, its latest identity and access management (IAM) offering.  With a shift in technology decisions towards business leaders, identity is the critical lynchpin to balance convenience and security in today’s complex, always-on IT environment.  NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5 empowers business leaders to properly evaluate access requests at the speed they need to remain agile and productive, while consistently provisioning and deprovisioning identities and access across even the most complex environments.

NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5 unleashes the power of identity, providing customers with a user-friendly self-service interface for access request and approval. Backed by automated identity and access provisioning processes, Identity Manager 4.5 satisfies both user desire for self-service IT, as well as auditor requirements, while reducing operational IT costs.

 

“Business users have become accustomed, through their consumer experience, to self-service – such as setting up their own email accounts and installing their own applications – and they expect that same degree of freedom when it comes to business services. NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5 reflects the fundamental shift in approach that organizations need to take to provide a consumer-level ease of use, with a seamless experience across desktop, cloud and mobile applications, in order for policy to be centrally enforced. Organizations should look to tap into the power that identity delivers in driving their productivity and ability to quickly and efficiently adopt new technologies without unnecessary cost and risk to the organization,” said Travis Greene, Senior Solution Strategist, Identity Management for NetIQ.

NetIQ Identity Manager 4.5 is available worldwide with list license pricing starting at $20 per user.
