Gartner Positions Oracle as a Leader for Identity Management

REDWOOD SHORES, CA, Jan 23 (Marketwire) --
Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)

News Facts

-- Gartner, Inc. has again named Oracle as a leader in both of its latest
identity management reports -- specifically the "Magic Quadrant for
Identity and Access Governance" for the fifth year (1) and the "Magic
Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning" for the second year
(2).
-- Oracle's positioning in the Leaders Quadrants for both Magic Quadrants
showcases how Oracle Identity and Access Governance Suite, a key
component of Oracle Identity Management 11g Release 2, provides
customers with an integrated and complete solution to automate
Identity Audit and Compliance with its Access Request, Provisioning,
Certification and Privileged Account Management capabilities.
-- According to Gartner, leaders in Identity and Access Governance (IAG),
"deliver a comprehensive toolset for the governance of identities and
access. Leaders also show evidence of superior vision and execution
for anticipated requirements related to technology, methodology or
means of delivery. Leaders typically show strong revenue growth and
demonstrate customer satisfaction with IAG capabilities and/or related
service and support." (1)
-- Gartner describes leaders in user administration/provisioning as,
"possess(ing) impressive track records in UAP (User Account
Provisioning) use across most industry segments. Business investments
position them well for the future. Leaders demonstrate balanced and
exceptional progress and effort in the Ability to Execute and
Completeness of Vision categories. They possess comprehensive feature
sets and enjoy reasonable customer satisfaction. They can -- and often
do -- change the course of the industry." (2)
-- The full reports, compliments of Oracle, are available at Magic
Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance and Magic Quadrant for
User Administration/Provisioning.
