iWelcome Cloud Identity

iWelcome Cloud Identity is one of the four iWelcome products we offer.












It provides identity as-a-service for your cloud or external applications. You can use it stand alone. In that case we securely store all your identities. You can also leverage an existing corporate directory or integrate iWelcome Cloud Identity with your identity and access management infrastructure to maximize your investment and extend user management and access control outside the boundaries of your organization and into the cloud.

Overview

Our iWelcome Cloud Identity service provides identity and access management for external (cloud) applications. 


We connect with all common cloud applications using our identity connectors. This way we can get you up and running quickly so you can start managing and controlling access across the cloud applications in use. Optionally, we can connect with a corporate directory to provide us with identity information to provision accounts, or to authenticate users.


Your users will then have only one password to remember and single sign on access to all their applications. They are also provided with self-service functionality to view and manage their identity information, change or reset their password and request additional access.

Getting started

We want our customers to get up and running with iWelcome Cloud Identity as quickly as possible. Depending on your needs it could be as quickly as within just a few days. 

During the setup phase we'll setup a workshop to jointly determine your requirements and pick the setup strategy that best fits your needs:


  • Deployment: on-premise or in the Cloud?
  • Integration: none, directory server (Microsoft AD) or existing Identity and Access Management solution.
  • Connectivity: we provide different solutions if we need to connect to an on-premise system like Microsoft Active Directory. 
  • Cloud applications: We will go through the list; are they supported or custom applications? 

   

Next we will create a deployement plan based on one of our pre-defined cookbooks and turn on iWelcome when you're ready. If needed, iWelcome can provide advice, training and other related professional services prior, during or after this phase.

Reuse your corporate directory

If you already have an existing corporate directory like Microsoft Active Directory or an LDAP v3 compliant directory server, we can leverage the account information stored in it.
We can connect with that system and use it as the source for account information. This way, we pick up the change every time a user is created, update or deleted. We'll make sure the necessary changes get propagated to all the connected cloud applications as well.  

Functionality provided

iWelcome Cloud Identity provides a full set of identity related services for your cloud and external applications:


  • User management.
  • Provisioning and de-provisioning.
  • Single Sign On.
  • Password management.
  • Logging and reporting.
  • Access Governance and RBAC.
  • Self-service functionality for end-users.

Furthermore we can leverage most on-premise corporate directories and identity and access management systems to retrieve account information, authenticate users or integrate with existing SSO solutions.

Cloud applications

We live in the cloud. We understand the cloud. That's why we fully support the cloud. And integrate with almost any application that exists. Both for provisioning and SSO. Probably out-of-the-box. Obviously you get all of the reporting, auditing and governance capabilities of iWelcome as well.


If we don't support an application you're using out-of-the-box, we can investigate and let you know how many days it would take us to include the application in iWelcome.

Integrate with your existing IAM solution

We can integrate with most existing identity and access management solutions. This way you continue to use it for provisioning and access management of your internal applications and maximize your previous investment. iWelcome extends the in-house, on-premise solution and adds provisioning and access management of cloud applications.
