The Access Management Database (XMDB™)

With the scope and scale of the capabilities provided by the Aveksa platform, organizations can now reliably and efficiently obtain a clear and complete picture of access across the enterprise. This allows the organization to treat the access data warehouse as more than just a data repository – it serves as a as a centralized, authoritative source of information about user access across the enterprise – the Access Management Database (XMDB™).

Much like a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) provides a full picture of configuration information for IT operations, aiding IT with its tasks of managing and controlling IT infrastructure, Aveksa's XMDB™ empowers business users to properly see user access, manage entitlements, and respond to access lifecycle events and changes. By doing so, the Aveksa platform delivers value beyond just Access Governance – it becomes a critical asset for business efficiency as well a tool for enabling continuous compliance.

With proper use of the XMDB, customers can

• Give business managers a complete view of what their employees have access to, above and beyond those systems for which access management is required for compliance
• Establish solid business processes around the complete set of user access lifecycle events, such as employees joining, moving and leaving
• Enable more holistic and more effective role initiatives, based on a richer and more complete set of data
• Support other enterprise applications that need a unified source for identity and access information such as user profiles, role definitions, policy definitions and policy violations
