Waltham, MA,—October 24, 2011—Aveksa, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise Access Governance automation solutions, today announced that it recently held its first ever user conference event in Boston, Massachusetts. Several Aveksa customers from a wide range of vertical industries, including financial services, energy, healthcare and insurance, participated in customer case studies and interactive forums designed to advance the adoption of Access Governance best practices. The conference was held at the Hyatt Harborside Hotel in Boston.
Access Governance has emerged as a critical component of enterprise computing, providing enterprises with the assurance that access to their internal applications and data is up-to-date and secure. The Aveksa Customer conference was a two-day event where Aveksa's global customers gathered to discuss Access Governance best practices, key KPIs to measure effectiveness of Access Governance initiatives, strategic architectural approaches required to integrate Access Governance with other IAM areas and their own implementation of Aveksa's Access Governance automation solutions.
"As a former CISO of a large insurance company, I fully understand the challenges enterprises face in the area of Identity and Access Management," said Craig Shumard, chairman, Aveksa Customer Advisory Board. "Forums such as the Aveksa Customer User Conference provide a valuable opportunity for enterprise companies to hear what other companies are doing to ensure proper access controls to mission-critical applications and data."
The conference included numerous case studies where customers shared metrics and anecdotes from implementing Aveksa's Access Governance solutions. By using Aveksa's automation solutions, these customers have been able to increase visibility and control of user access, reduce the cost of managing access, reduce the risk caused by improper access, improve audit readiness and achieve continuous compliance, and empower the business to make accurate and timely access decisions.
"Aveksa is committed to providing our customers with the most advanced Access Governance solutions," said Vick Viren Vaishnavi, President and CEO of Aveksa. "Our recent customer event was a wonderful opportunity for us to get direct feedback from our customers on their experiences using Aveksa's solutions and our strategic product direction so that we can further enhance our product offerings and continue to innovate in the IAM space. The feedback we received was overwhelmingly positive with customers stating the value they have experienced by automating Access Governance processes through Aveksa in numerous case studies at the event."
