Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) is the latest solution in the Identity Management family. It replaces Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010 (FIM) which replaced Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager 2007 (ILM).
MIM 2016 is primarily used to automate the creation and synchronisation of user accounts between systems, either within a network or with external organisations. Once an identity is managed and being synchronised to another system, MIM has the ability to capture password change events and send the new password to the other systems as well. This enables users to use a single username and password across many systems within and outside your organisation.
MIM 2016 includes enhanced features such as enhanced security, powerful user self-service and cloud ready identities. Business Mechanix has vast experience with Identity Management Solutions and MIM will be no different.
With an extensive background in large organisations, Business Mechanix has deployed Identity Management solutions touching hundreds of thousands of people. At Wintec in Hamilton, Business Mechanix implemented the FIM (2010) solution to process more than 120,000 user accounts connecting their internal core systems with Active Directory and Microsoft’s cloud services including password synchronisation. Whitireia New Zealand was an early adopter of FIM following long term use of ILM and Business Mechanix designed and installed their original ILM and performed the subsequent upgrade. Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) had attempted to implement FIM on their own before getting help from Business Mechanix. EIT has a fully automated user creation and identity management process saving IT staff many hours of processing time.
The University of Waikato enlisted Business Mechanix’ help for their Identity Management Solution. This involved a full review and restructure of their Active Directory, replacement of their user access request management tool and the automation of the creation, modification and removal of accounts and access. Key features gained for the university are the full audit control of all changes to identity, the ability to see the access applied to a user at any time historically, and a fully auditable workflow process for approvals of access to systems and services.
