As companies seek to improve their business processes by extending their applications to the Internet, these environments are becoming increasingly complex. Netegrity has integrated its SiteMinder platform with PeopleSoft 8 to enable corporations to securely manage all applications and users from a centralized point in order to reduces costs and simplify administration.
True enterprise collaboration requires integration of business processes between applications inside and outside enterprise boundaries. As companies extend their business processes to customers, suppliers, and employees over the Internet, these collaborative enterprises require a centralized platform for securely managing users and which applications and information they have access to. The integration of PeopleSoft and SiteMinder provides PeopleSoft customers with a centralized infrastructure for security and identity management, across PeopleSoft applications as well as all of the other applications within the corporation.
We already have numerous customers in production who have integrated Netegrity with their PeopleSoft 8 applications in order to securely manage these pure internet applications, said Peter Gassner, vice president and general manager of the PeopleTools Technology division at PeopleSoft. The centralized security infrastructure provided by SiteMinder enables our customers to deploy these collaborative applications more quickly, operate more efficiently, and reduce costs.
Netegrity’s SiteMinder technology makes e-business Web sites more secure and manageable by providing a platform for centrally managing all applications, rather than building proprietary user directories and access control systems into each individual application. This centralized approach to security management enables companies to greatly reduce administration cost and complexity.
