First Identity and Entitlement Management Suite Built On a Business Process Management Platform

DUBLIN, OH – Mar. 3, 2008

The Dot Net Factory today introduced EmpowerID Role Enforcer for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, the first role-based entitlement management application for SharePoint permissions. EmpowerID Role Enforcer for SharePoint enables enterprise-wide access control, auditing, and enforcement of policy for all SharePoint Server 2007 environments. EmpowerID Role Enforcer for SharePoint is available immediately and is offered as an optional module for the EmpowerID Version 4.0 Identity and Entitlement Management suite.

"In today's business world, enterprises must have real-time answers to the most important audit and compliance question 'who has access to what and how was it granted'", said Patrick Parker, Chief Executive Officer of The Dot Net Factory. "Over 200 customers, including the BBC Worldwide, rely on us to help them mitigate compliance failure and e-discovery exposures, improve productivity, and reduce administrative costs for many enterprise resources, including SharePoint environments."

EmpowerID Role Enforcer for SharePoint simplifies SharePoint Server 2007 permission management by providing a single centralized console for managing and enforcing a standard Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) security framework over all enterprise identity, roles and resources. The flexible RBAC system leverages Active Directory, HR systems, and other directories to control access and make policy decisions based upon a user's current job function and location in which they work.

EmpowerID Role Enforcer for SharePoint delivers:

  • Improved IT productivity and reduced administrative costs associated with SharePoint Server 2007 by allowing instant discovery of new sites, control of access permissions, and centralized management.
  • Leverage for your organization's directory infrastructure to control access and make policy decisions based upon a user's current job function and location
  • Automated permission assignment and revocation as users change job duties or move between departments and locations in an organization.
  • Instant enterprise-wide reporting and attestation for all levels of compliance and audit.
