Historically, implementation of identity and access management solutions required significant consulting services for process re-engineering, integrations and custom workflow development. This complexity contributed to high cost, risks and delays, often resulting in million-dollar, multi-year projects.

“Automating user lifecycles with some IAM products has become so complex and costly that analyst firms routinely advise customers to begin with analytics and entitlement cleanup rather than actively managing identities and entitlements,” says Idan Shoham, CTO. “Hitachi ID Express Identity eliminates this problem -- customers can now automate IAM processes in weeks, not years.”

With Hitachi ID Express Identity, organizations begin with a rich set of business processes and policies. Express Identity solutions embody best practices for onboarding, transfer and termination processes, including automation, access requests, approvals and recertification. These processes completely replace, rather than re-implement, legacy processes.

The Corporate edition of Express Identity automates the lifecycle of employees and contractors, while the Partner Portal edition automates access management for users affiliated with business partners.
