History
During the 1990s, Fischer International Systems Corporation, developed and marketed a meta directory solution to meet customer requirements to synchronize data across disparate IT systems and directories. During that era, Fischer also developed and marketed password management capabilities and enabled user provisioning through scripting, as most vendors still do today. Fischer International effectively had, in the 1990s, what many major vendors continue to offer today: a suite of identity products composed of disparate technologies based on legacy code. Fischer International’s team had deep experience in security which told them then that these early identity technologies would not be sufficient for managing identities and automating business processes in highly dynamic, heterogeneous IT environments:
Early identity technologies were insufficient for managing and automating business processes:
- Merging disparate identity technologies increases complexity and cost while decreasing reliability
- Programming business logic in workflows and policies is expensive and difficult to change
- Using "heavy" agent connectivity increases software costs and complicates deployments
- Tracing identity activities across component-specific log databases adds time, cost and uncertainty to the audit process
- Provisioning
- Compliance
- Password management
- Privileged account management
- Self-service and mobile password reset
- Provisioning approvals
