News Facts

-- The first-ever Gartner, Inc. "Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access
Governance" recognizes Oracle as a leader, Oracle announced today. (1)
-- Oracle also announced today that Oracle is placed in the Leaders
Quadrant of the 2011 "Magic Quadrant for User
Administration/Provisioning." (2)
-- According to Gartner, leaders in Identity and Access Governance (IAG)
are "composed of vendors that provide products with a good functional
match to client requirements for establishing a governance system for
access. These vendors have been successful in building an installed
base and revenue stream within the IAG market, and have a relatively
high viability rating (because of IAG revenue). Leaders also show
evidence of superior vision and execution for anticipated
requirements, as they relate to technology, methodology or means of
delivery. Leaders typically have significant market share, strong
revenue growth, and demonstrated early customer satisfaction with IAG
capabilities and/or related service and support."
-- Gartner describes leaders in user administration/provisioning as
"high-momentum vendors (based on sales, world presence and mind share
growth), and they have evident track records in user provisioning
across most, if not all, market segments. Business investments
position them well for the future. Leaders demonstrate balanced
progress and effort in the Ability to Execute and Completeness of
Vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all
products in the market. They can and often do change the course of the
industry."
-- Gartner Magic Quadrants position vendors within a particular market
segment based on their completeness of vision and their ability to
execute on that vision.
-- Oracle Identity Analytics delivers the advanced access certification

time-consuming compliance requirements with out of the box business
friendly views and prioritized risk scoring dramatically reducing the
time need to complete reviews.

Analytics the industry's only access governance solution that provides
an accurate closed-loop remediation solution including advanced risk
aggregation and controls for preventative segregation of duties.
-- Oracle's integrated platform approach to Identity Governance provides
the advantages of better risk awareness and automated "closed-loop"
remediation of improper rights and audit violations.
-- Oracle Identity Manager 11g and Oracle Identity and Access Management
Suite, components of Oracle Identity Management 11g, provide the
industry's most complete, open and integrated Identity Management
solutions to help organizations experience superior performance,
