Optimal IdM
Optimal IdM, a Microsoft Partner and member of the Microsoft Security Partner Advisory Council, is a leading Microsoft solution provider of identity management software and consulting solutions.
Our flagship product, the Virtual Identity Server (VIS), is a .NET LDAP Virtual Directory that adds powerful data virtualization/transformation, real-time compliance and reporting, separation of duties (SOD) and role/group attestation capabilities.
The Virtual Identity Server for SharePoint (VIS for SharePoint) is built upon the Virtual Identity Server platform and enhances and extends SharePoint with greater functionality. Utilizing VIS for SharePoint, customers can quickly and easily deploy SharePoint across multiple AD forests and LDAP repositories, with additional authentication methods such as: custom SSO, two factor authentication and Common Access Card (CAC).
VIS for SharePoint greatly simplifies and reduces the administration of SharePoint, by providing administrators with a dynamic role-based access control security model for SharePoint. Administrators are no longer required to manage security and group membership on an on-going basis. Instead, business rules are defined once and access is granted or denied dynamically and in real-time.
The Optimal IdM solution seamlessly integrates with and leverages the existing Microsoft infrastructure. This lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO), while enabling customers to rapidly deploy applications to users across multiple identity stores with greater security and control.
Each day, millions of users worldwide depend on Optimal IdM’s solutions, for their security, compliance and identity management needs. With solutions deployed on five continents, our customers include Fortune 1000, Federal, State and Local Governments covering a broad range of business verticals.
Headquartered in Florida, Optimal IdM provides sales and services through regional offices across the United States and a growing network of partners and system integrators.
