Background
Genpact is a leading business services and technology solutions company catering to BFSI, manufacturing, transport and services industries. Established in 1997, Genpact has grown into a global business with operations in six countries and a workforce of over 20,000 employees. Genpact s key strategy has been to focus on new technologies deployment; develop product and domain expertise in selected industry verticals and expand into new geographies.
The Challenge
Genpact needed a central identity management system for all IT access authorizations for its global workforce of over 20,000. Further, it was looking at a solution based on open standards, which reduces administrative costs through increased security and improves user experience.
The Solution
Sun Identity Manager provides Genpact with role- and rules-based provisioning of policies for users, organizations, resources, roles, or services, which ensures that its security requirements are automatically enforced.
In addition, the Sun solution helps provide Genpact with the ability to easily review the status of access services at any time, which both improves audit performance and helps achieve compliance with governmental mandates.
"Sun Java System Identity Manager gives us an exceptional platform for managing identity profiles and permissions, which enhances our overall enterprise security while allowing us to reduce operation costs," said Tom Sheffield, manager, identity & access management at Genpact.
"Sun's Identity Management solution greatly reduces the time it takes to get users up and running productively, change user access privileges and to instantly and securely revoke accounts when their relationship with our company ends."
Over the next 2 years, all IT access authorizations for the Genpact global workforce as well as 1700 contractors and partners, located across India, Mexico, US, Hungary, Romania and China, will be integrated into the system, which utilizes identity management technology provided by Sun Microsystems.
Benefits
Genpact had several heterogeneous applications and platforms, which needed to be integrated including Oracle HRMS and Microsoft Exchange 2003 and RSA Ace Server.
Identity Manager accommodates transformation rules, data flow mapping, and data joins so that dissimilar schemas can be mapped to any type of data source, thereby protecting existing infrastructure investments in the enterprise.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Sarbox) has posed a number of logistical, operational, and economic challenges for companies seeking to meet the compliance guidelines.
For Sarbox compliance, the Sun solution synchronizes identity data across a wide identity management solution not only range of heterogeneous applications, allows secure control over the access to directories, databases, and other data and use of information systems, it stores, improving operational provides key components such as user efficiencies by eliminating the need for provisioning/deprovisioning, access data to be synchronized manually.
