The latest edition of Oracle's Identity Manager builds on the core provisioning functionality the company acquired with its 2005 purchase of Thor Technologies with new deployment, workflow, diagnostics and attestation tools. This additional functionality greatly improves the product and may very well put it at the top of the provisioning market.
OIM contains the standard provisioning functions: automated user-provisioning capabilities through the use of policies, roles and workflows; the ability to manage user accounts across many systems and applications from a single interface; and user self-services, such as registration and password reset. OIM differentiates itself through the addition of the attestation process, which lets IT management perform certification of user access with a full audit trail, a requirement of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
