Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oracle Identity Management as a single sign-on for almost all applications. Internal systems are connected through Oracle Identity Management to provide a single sign-on experience to our internal customers, that includes, but is not limited to, our GRP system, HR, and Talent Management. It's also been extended to an external system for printing certificates for contractors in Dubai. That system is more critical than all other internal systems due to its use by business and external users.

Pros and Cons

Simple installation
Good user experience
Stable performance

Auto switch to DR (Very key and not yet been experienced or implemented well)
Ability to connect with other legacy systems
Mobile friendly

Return on Investment

Management of password change policy
Single repository of a historical list of users
User experience on memorizing a single password to access all systems

Alternatives Considered

I believe we had a quite fair RFP listing all our complex integration and being key on utilizing existing investments, the Oracle product met our requirements and the local partner presented that very well. With such combined synergy, the offering was appealing to be the winning bid and therefore Oracle Identity Management was selected.

Other Software Used

Oracle Financials, Oracle Database, Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management

Likelihood to Recommend

I've always preferred to have a single solution for identity access management for both internal and external. In our case, we started with this project to have an internal single sign-on that worked very well. However, the external services were further integrated with the city-wide single sign system. Oracle Identity Management was an easy integration with the city identity management
