Overview
Organizations use a variety of applications, services, and information repositories to get the job done. However, juggling disparate access credentials, methods, and security policies to keep things safe creates risk and reduces efficiency.
OpenText™ Access Manager (NetIQ) empowers your organization to expand their digital footprint through simple and secure access to your internal applications, services, and information. It authenticates your users and lets you control their authorization level based on conditions you define. It also offers an access gateway that lets you customize web access experiences to meet your business and security needs.
Why OpenText Access Manager?
Over time, corporate infrastructures grow into a mix of old and new technologies, resulting in a blend of applications and services that are often too complex to bring together into a single user experience. OpenText Access Manager simplifies the complex.
