Mergers & Acquisitions

Company mergers and acquisitions impose a real challenge for any corporate IT department. People from different external administrative domains must be provided access to applications and data from day one in order for the organisation to remain productive, regardless of which department the user belongs to or where the application may be located.

Company mergers and acquisitions have a substantial impact on corporate IT. New organisations and processes have to be integrated, and IT must operate efficiently during the whole process. Challenges include integrating disparate networking environments and applications, as well as providing a flexible yet secure framework for identity and access management to ensure new staff members get immediate access to applications and information.

PortWise helps corporate IT to immediately provide new employees, teams or organisations access to mission-critical applications and data, with full control of who is getting access to what, so that the organisation can be productive from day one. With PortWise solutions, corporate IT can:

• Enable cross-organisational identity management - PortWise can integrate with multiple user storages, possibly of different types, so you don't have to worry about user migration.
• Provide employees instant application access - regardless of location and device, from day one.
• Enforce role-based authorisation - a comprehensive access policy framework allows an organization to define exactly who is getting access to what, when and how.
• Enable Identity Federation - PortWise provides an infrastructure that enables identities and their relevant entitlements to be propagated across different domains, using open standards like ADFS and SAML.
• Delegate management - Delegate administration to department managers or help desk staff to offload corporate IT.
• Make sure the organisation is regulatory compliant during the whole merger process - PortWise includes central logging and audit functions to provide in-depth information of every identity and access activity.
