| Access Management Case Study |
| Providing users with secure, real-time access to company data from anywhere. |
| Business Issue |
This Fortune 500 financial firm needed to provide a wide range of users and business partners with access to real-time transactional information in a secure manner.
The information and systems were located in a secure private network used to process
high volume financial transactions. Network security mechanisms such as virtual private networks (VPN) and firewalls were, by themselves, inadequate to provide the control
and security necessary. |
| Edgile’s Solution |
| Edgile worked closely with the firm to design a solution that would meet the requirements of the enterprise. The design was set around the concept of scalable infrastructure tiers, where each layer of the architecture could be scaled to meet changing needs without adversely affecting the rest of the design. |
Reliability: The environment needed to perform even under diverse circumstances.
This required complete redundancy and fail over for all layers of the architecture. |
| Performance: A high performance infrastructure was required to ensure satisfactory response times to each request or user interaction with the systems. |
Security: The system needed to be able to enforce access rules by user, group, and type
of application request. The environment also needed to support multiple types of authentication, encryption and request types. |
| Business Value |
A new universal access infrastructure allows the company to tightly control access and individual requests while providing access to a variety of users. This flexibility allows
the firm to provide services to its customers and global business partners quickly
and effectively, which previously took months if not years to provide, while protecting
the integrity of the financial network that is the backbone of its business. |
