    Product overview
    IBM® Security Identity Manager provides the software and services to deploy policy-based provisioning solutions. Companies
    can automate the process of provisioning employees, contractors, and Business Partners with access rights to the applications
    they need. The application can be in a closed enterprise environment or across a virtual or extended enterprise. IBM Security
    Identity Manager, Version 7.x.x.x is a network appliance-based identity-management solution.

    networks, and others.
