CA Identity Manager Now Available on Salesforce.com

CA Technologies has announced the availability of CA Identity Manager on AppExchange 2. With CA Identity Manager, organisations can automate identity management functions, such as role-based user provisioning and de-provisioning, and self-service access requests, using a single, automated system to manage identities for Force.com cloud applications, as well as existing in-house applications.

Regardless of whether an application resides within the enterprise or in the cloud, managing the identities and controlling the access of users to key resources is a critical function for IT organisations that face increasing pressure to cut operating costs, while still enabling compliance and productivity.

“Our focus is to deliver a single identity management system to manage identities for applications no matter where they reside,” said Lina Liberti, Vice President, Security, CA Technologies. “Partnering with Salesforce.com and leveraging their API to extend CA Identity Manager’s capabilities gives customers the added confidence to deploy cloud applications on Force.com, knowing they can securely manage the users of those applications and meet compliance demands.”

“Customers are experiencing massive success with cloud computing and want to extend its benefits to every employee,” said Kendall Collins, Chief Marketing Officer, Salesforce.com. “Our work with CA Technologies continues to accelerate adoption by giving customers an efficient way to manage user access and identity in the cloud.”
