IdentityForge, ForgeRock Collaborate for Larger, Reasonable Product Line

IdentityForge recently signed a partnership agreement with ForgeRock, a global open source vendor behind the I³ Open Identity Platform. According to the terms of the agreement, both the companies will join forces to offer an even broader product line as well as cut down the cost for deploying Identity infrastructures.

IdentityForge is a well-known provider of identity management, biometric and connector solutions for mainframe, midrange, ERP, Cloud-Based, OS and many more target systems.

ForgeRock is the creator of I³ platform, a fully open source platform for the creation of interactive Web and cloud solutions using identity throughout. The I³ products family includes OpenAM, OpenIDM and OpenDJ among others.

ForgeRock technology is built on open standards and deployed by a global network of system integrator, consulting and training partners. I³ products are supported for mission-critical operations by ForgeRock enterprise lifecycle subscriptions.

"We are excited to partner with an Open Platform leader like ForgeRock and look forward to bring their vast knowledge to our current and future clients," said Jeff Davis, Director of Marketing and Sales at IdentityForge. "We hope to provide another great Open Source (News - Alert) option for our client's that broadens that number of systems that can intercommunicate within any identity management suite."

On the other hand, IdentityForge’s Advanced Adapter Suites provides seamless access, real-time data synchronization, bi-directional support for Directory Services, Rule Management and Identity & Access Management, Governance and Monitoring software platforms. The IdentityForge LDAPv3 Gateway (News - Alert) provides standard access to multiple data platforms in an industry proven way, helping customers realize a rapid ROI, deploy faster and easier and meet regulatory compliance.

"Partnership with IdentityForge extends our portfolio of connectors and gives us a strong offering addressing legacy mainframe applications and security systems as well as popular ERP packages such as SAP (News - Alert),” said Product manager IDM, Anders Askasen. “At the same time this allows us to spend valuable research and development on the core product OpenIDM instead of on integration and connectors."

IdentityForge launched an advanced CRM adapter by Salesforce last October, enhancing several operations within their enterprise.
