2007 simplifies managing the life cycle
of a user’s digital identity by providing
identity synchronization, certificate
management, and user provisioning in
a single solution.

the cost of managing the identity and
access life cycle by providing a single
view of a user’s identity across the
heterogeneous enterprise and through the
automation of common tasks.
For example, with ILM 2007, IT organiza-
tions can automate the processes of
managing smart cards and digital certific-
ates through policy and workflow. Synchro-
nization of user identities across multiple
identity stores is another example of a
process that can be automated with ILM.
