5. What is the Identity Warehouse?

The Identity Warehouse is at the core of the Governance Platform serving as the central repository for identity and access data across all enterprise IT applications in the data center and the cloud. The warehouse is populated by importing user data from any authoritative source (e.g., HRMS) and user account and entitlement data from business applications, databases, platforms, and other systems. It is designed to scale and rapidly import access data from large numbers of applications and users by leveraging out-of-the-box connectors or via flat files.

6. What are the Provisioning Integration Modules?

SailPoint recognizes that many organizations have significant investments in legacy provisioning systems. To maximize existing investments in these systems, IdentityIQ can leverage existing connectivity through alternative provisioning systems to connect to enterprise resources and pull user account data into its Identity Warehouse to support compliance and identity lifecycle management activities. IdentityIQ can also be configured to push changes resulting from day-to-day identity business processes down to the provisioning solution to implement account changes in target IT systems. SailPoint offers Provisioning Integration Modules (PIMs) for numerous legacy user provisioning solutions, including BMC Identity Manager, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, Novell Identity Manager, Oracle Identity Manager, and Sun Identity Manager (Oracle Waveset).
