Delivering an always-on Citrix and IT environment is only half the battle when it comes to meeting business needs for unlocking knowledge. The second half is securely unlocking the knowledge to the right people at the right time. This is achieved with the HP Software and Citrix Identity and Access Management Solution (IAM), created through the marriage of HP Software Identity Management Suite and Citrix Password Manager.

It has always been prudent for an organization with hundreds or thousands of employees to identify those who are permitted to access information resources, and to control their access. Today, large enterprises have additional reasons for strengthening oversight of information access,ranging from government regulations to security threats to productivity and cost concerns. Add an expanding user base that may include partners, customers, and vendors, as well as remote and mobile employees, all requiring access to various password-protected applications, and it's clear why many large companies are searching for a way to effectively manage user identity and access.
Large enterprises facing these challenges are looking for a complete, integrated product and services solution. In contrast to other IAM solutions, the HP Software and Citrix IAM solution is based on a service-oriented model that quickly and easily models business process to IT processes and enables IT to better support business goals more efficiently and effectively. It ensures that all users—internal and external—are able to access the resources to which they are entitled, and nothing more. Access is easily revoked when user roles or status change.
The following products form the basis of this solution.
