Identity and Entitlement Management processes involve provisioning and management of multiple directories,
operating systems, and applications in order to provide users with the resources necessary to perform their
daily business duties.
EmpowerID is a powerful Identity and Role-Based application and Business Process Management platform built
on the Windows Workflow Foundation that allows you to compose, integrate and orchestrate rule-based workflows
across your enterprise to securely deliver the applications and resources needed. EmpowerID's flexible identity
management processes act as the glue across the IT infrastructure that allows administrators to easily tie
technology components together via workflows that enable automated service delivery and revocation.
EmpowerID realizes the full potential of Windows PowerShell, an extensible command line interface shell and
associated scripting language from Microsoft built on the .NET framework. EmpowerID's easy to use, graphical
interface for workflow composition enables use of all Microsoft PowerShell commandlets. Within EmpowerID,
commandlets operate as Windows Communication Foundation web services that are wrappered in workflow activities
for use in any business process. With this embedded functionality, EmpowerID workflows can encompass the
entire provisioning and service delivery process in Microsoft Exchange and other PowerShell-enabled systems, from the provisioning of identities and access, to the creation of new resources.
In addition to the ability to visually design PowerShell driven workflow processes that cross network and
firewall boundaries, the EmpowerID Role-Based Entitlement Management platform allows true security with delegation
of who can perform what PowerShell actions across all your enterprise systems under a single security model.
