While many of the Professional Service organizations look to optimize their profits by reducing the cost of labor, many times these organizations cut their resources with the expertise and seniority needed for successful implementations, in lieu of less experienced and cheaper resources. Though the cost of labor has decreased for the Professional Services, many times their rates increase to the client. Many of the end clients are not aware of this, and assume that going to a Software Vendor’s Professional Service organization will yield the best available resources for their project.

For these reasons above, the quality of services from these Professional Services Organizations has declined drastically.

 One of the key design objective for Hyperion System 9 was to make the software easy to use, not only for business users, but for administrators as well. Part of this effort was building a common security layer spanning all modules of Hyperion System 9, accessed through a single interface—the Hyperion System 9 Shared Services™ User Management Console™.  The implementation of an overarching Hyperion System 9 security model is an important component in meeting this objective. Business users are issued a single user id and password that will grant them access to any or all of the applications they need within Hyperion System 9. Administrators are able to leverage their organization’s existing security repository, and manage all Hyperion System 9 users from one interface.

[This article is sponsored by Peningo Systems, Inc., a provider of IBM Tivoli Consulting and Implementation Services on a nationwide basis. For more information on Peningo Systems, please go to the Peningo Tivoli Access Manager Consultants page. ]

 

Peningo Systmem Tivoli ConsultingIBM has recently release a Redbook publication “Deployment Guide Series: IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On 8.0”.  This book introduces IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On 8.0, which provides single sign-on to many applications without a lengthy and complex implementation effort.

This book introduces IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On 8.0 (TAM E-SSO), which provides single sign-on to many applications without a lengthy and complex implementation effort. Whether you are deploying strong authentication, implementing an enterprise-wide identity management initiative, or simply focusing on the sign-on challenges of a specific group of users, this solution can deliver the efficiencies and security that come with a well-crafted and comprehensive single sign-on solution.

We at Peningo Systems recommend this Redbook as a valuable resource to security officers, administrators, and architects who want to understand and implement an identity management solution in a medium scale environment.

IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On Highlights:

 

IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On automates sign-on and access to your enterprise applications.

Eliminate the need to remember and manage user names and passwords with this single sign-on software from Tivoli.

  • Simplify, strengthen and track access to Microsoft Windows, Web, Java, mainframe and teletype applications, over all major network access points with this single sign-on solution.
  • Enhance security by reducing poor end-user password behavior and reduce the number of password reset calls to your service desk.
  • Take advantage of comprehensive session management of kiosk machines to improve security
  • Enhance security with a wide choice of strong authentication factors.
  • Use centralized audit and reporting capabilities to facilitate compliance with privacy and security regulations.
  • Enable end-to-end identity and access management by integrating the centralized identity management functions of IBM Tivoli Identity Manager with enterprise single sign-on, password management software and access automation
  • Operating systems supported: Windows

 

TAM E-SSO relieves password headaches with a proven single sign-on solution across all network access points. The complexity and number of logons employees must manage on a daily basis are increasing, resulting in frustration and lost productivity. In most organizations, employees must remember between 5 and 30 passwords and are required to change them every 30 days. The time wasted entering, changing, writing down, forgetting and resetting passwords represents a significant loss in productivity and a significant cost of IT help-desk operations. With IBM Tivoli Access Manager for Enterprise Single Sign-On—the market-leading enterprise single sign-on solution—employees authenticate once, and the software then detects and automates all password-related events for the employee, including:

  • Logon.
  • Password selection.
  • Password change.
  • Password reset.
  • Logoff.

For most organizations today, there is in place some sort of IT Asset Management systems and/or policies. The key to an effective Asset Management implementation is the accuracy of the Asset Data that is inputted into the CMDB (Configuration Management Database).  Many Asset Management systems rely exclusively on Auto-discovery as the method to identify assets. The problem with this is that many assets may not be in the network and will not be included into the CMDB.

The accuracy of an organization’s CMDB is truly become a daunting task.  There are many non-networked assets of value that need to be included into an organization CMDB for Asset Management to be effective. These non-networked assets may include, PDAs, cell phones, Blackberry phones, notebook / laptop computers, scanners, printers, supplies, spare parts, as well as, mobile computing resources that are used by telecommuting employees. Many of these items above fall outside of the auto-discovery reach, thus are not included in the CMDB.

Since non-discoverable and mobile assets can be over 20% of an organization’s total asset population, a regular physical inventory is required to ensure the integrity of the CMDB. This is extremely labor intensive and prone to human error. For an effective Asset Management system to be in place, Auto-discovery tools are not enough. A successful asset management process must include all assets, not just those connected to a network, especially the mobile computing assets.

Barcode scanning provides a reliable method of ensuring database integrity, especially among mobile assets and assets that are not easily discoverable. Today, barcodes are on just about everything manufactured and are used for asset tracking and identification in most businesses. Bar-coding should be used whenever there is a need to accurately identify or track something.  With barcode scanning an organization can receive or verify inventory by scanning the applicable asset barcode and physically entering the location into the barcode scanner. Then inventory, location, and client data can be uploaded to store and synchronize with the CMDB for automatic inventory and asset reconciliation. Communication with the mobile barcode scanners is achieved via wireless local area networks, or by direct connection to the network via Scanner Cradles. The use of barcode scanning integrated into an organization Asset Management Systems will reduce the time required to verify and reconcile inventory.

Once the barcode scanning has been integrated into an organization’s CMDB, after the intial scanning effort is done, the CMDB could be 100% accurate. In order for the CMDB to remain accurate, a Barcode Strategy must be in place. Strategies may include an annual wall to wall inventory, to monthly inventory checks with new and out of service items, to daily scans of all new assets, with decommissioned asset being removed from the CMDB.

Peningo Systems Consultants have designed solutions and integrated custom barcode scanning systems with BMC Remedy Asset Management systems. Should your organization be looking to improve your existing Asset Management Systems with Barcode Scanning, please consider Peningo Systems as a resource for your Remedy Asset Management  / Barcode Scanning system integration.
