HOBOKEN, NJ--(Marketwire - October 19, 2009) - Simeio Solutions (
www.simeiosolutions.com) today
announced the newest version of its flagship DirectAXs
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) suite. Based on pay-as-you-go subscription
pricing, DirectAXs combines essential identity and access management (IAM)
and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) capabilities into one hosted
package that can be deployed in a fraction of the time and cost than that
of a traditional IAM or GRC implementation. Customers can choose to have
DirectAXs fully hosted and remotely managed by Simeio, or on premise and
managed by internal IT staff. DirectAXs is ideal for both small to
medium-sized and large organizations with 500-50,000 users.
DirectAXs is comprised of three main components: best-of-breed IAM and GRC
products, the Identity Interceptor, and the DirectAXs Admin Console. The
newest enhancement to DirectAXs is the Identity Interceptor, a hardware
appliance (or software only, based on customer preference) installed on
premise to communicate between the customer and the cloud. Typical
enterprise deployments require 20-100 applications to be individually
integrated into the IAM suite. The Identity Interceptor connects to all
applications for user provisioning, single sign on, role management and
compliance, integrating them all at a single point. The Identity
Interceptor also offers performance caching, dynamic routing, detailed
auditing and logging, and continuous health monitoring with representative
governance dashboards. For maximum security, all communication in transit
is SSL encrypted, while all data at rest is 3DES encrypted. Only two TCP
ports (HTTPS and SFTP) are open to the cloud.
The DirectAXs Admin Console now offers unified management of IAM and GRC
capabilities for a streamlined user experience. With integrated reporting,
customers can generate one report instead of separate reports for each
product installed. Multi-tenancy features enable multiple customers to
access the same console, while data partitioning and filtering prevent
unauthorized data access. Dashboard, metrics and auditing are offered
across the entire stack, with CIO, CSO, IT manager and business user views.
"Traditional IAM implementations are process- and
labor-intensive, which significantly drives up their costs," said Hemen
Vimadalal, CEO, Simeio Solutions. "The specific skill sets needed to
install these products come at a premium price. Sustainability is also an
issue with ongoing operational costs such as support and hardware/software
licensing. Lastly, the disjointed products that make up typical
implementations create a management headache. These are all compelling
reasons why Fortune 500 and federal, state and local government customers
are moving their IAM infrastructure into the cloud. We designed DirectAXs
after thousands of man-hours consulting with Fortune 500 companies and
seeing their pain points. DirectAXs enables customers to reduce the
complexity of their identity IT infrastructure and operating expenses so
they can focus on their core business processes. At the end of the day,
this allows organizations to have standardized best practices and
repeatable processes."
