Differentiators |
IdentityPointe offers a number of unique advantages that collectively make it an easily deployed and integrated provisioning solution. These advantages include:
- InterfacePointe® Connectors
The IdentityPointe provisioning solution is built with technology to accommodate and leverage the product diversity already within your organization. An InterfacePointe is an automated, agent-based connection built to deliver security requests to any target system. The architecture supports common APIs and protocols such as web services, ODBC, or automated e-mail delivery. With our library of pre-built connectors to complex systems and identity management products, IdentityPointe requests are completed automatically.
- ActivityPointe® Templates
Complex, activity based systems may require extensive policies and rules to ultimately determine user privileges. IdentityPointe provides a functional multi-tiered model called ActivityPointe that allows a system owner to defining the most complex activity templates. Non-technical business managers can define activity based templates for their own systems using a friendly, browser-based environment.
- Open Workflow Architecture
IdentityPointe offers extensive flexibility in its workflow capabilities. By providing a fully customized system level architecture, IdentityPointe allows system owners and administrators the ability to create approval workflows based on the required business process.

Technology |
Ixion's approach to account provisioning is uniquely positioned by IdentityPointe's robust workflow and self-service technology. We designed IdentityPointe from the ground up, starting with what we learned from extensive research of other products and implementations of identity management deployments at many large enterprise companies.
We learned that:
- Companies need a solution that works with a diverse set of platforms and software systems
- Provisioning procedures are different for every department
- Most companies don't have a single directory containing all employee and business partner profiles
- Companies don’t always use a single help desk or logging database for auditing account requests
- Securely delegating account provisioning to employees and business managers is critical to remaining competitive
- Companies demand fast implementations, and fast ROI
IdentityPointe is the result of what we learned.
