College of American Pathologists Implements Oracle Identity Management Enterprise Security Platform

NAPERVILLE, Ill. - May 3, 2013 - PRLog -- A multi-phase Oracle Identity and Access Management project, implemented over a period of 18 months, has been completed by AST Corporation for the College of American Pathologists (CAP).  

Building an enterprise security platform is a strategic initiative for CAP’s future growth and expansion to the international market, requiring a highly-secured infrastructure for its customers.  Working together, CAP and AST created an Identity Management (IDM) implementation roadmap comprised of various system integrations.  The project, executed over phases to ensure no disturbances to any CAP business operations, included:

• Building an enterprise IDM platform implementation and support roadmap, with a software compatibility matrix

• Consolidation of identity data, creating a centralized identity store using Oracle Internet Directory  and Oracle Virtual Directory

• Implementations of policy-driven automated provisioning, enhancing security and compliance by leveraging Oracle Identity Manager

• Self-service user registration and profile management

• Single Sign-On (SSO) using Oracle Access Manager

• Federated identity management and cross-domain SSO using Oracle Identity Federation

• Fine-grained portal entitlement and delegated administration using Oracle Entitlement Server

• Integration with over 25 legacy systems

• Identity governance, and IT audit monitoring and reporting•    

“I would like to congratulate the AST team on what was a very successful Oracle Identity and Access Management implementation at the CAP,” said Stephen Myers, CAP’s Chief Administrative and Financial Officer.  “The project was extremely complex, very invasive, and it required a significant amount of planning and coordination, but the combined teams from AST and the CAP delivered a successful implementation.  We have now positioned ourselves to enable future business growth and initiatives, and at the end of the day, that is paramount to everything that we do.  I believe this is a testament to both the skill level and dedication of the AST team members, as well as our team members from the CAP.”

The project was delivered on-schedule and within a fixed budget and is considered one of the most successful projects at CAP.  “The success of this project is a true testimony to AST’s ability to implement large and complex enterprise identity management projects,” said Mr. Shyam Kumar, AST’s Oracle Fusion Middleware Practice Director.  “This success also demonstrates the trust CAP has for AST as a valued partner”.

AST has been awarded a contract for the next phase of CAP’s Identity Management and support services projects.
