OPTIMAL IDM SIGNS ON TO SPONSOR THE SPTECHCON BOSTON SHOW

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 11, 2010 --

LAND O’LAKES, FL-(TUESDAY, MAY 11, 2010): Optimal IdM, LLC, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and leading global provider of identity management software and consulting solutions, today formally announced its sponsorship of The SharePoint Technology Conference (SPTechCon Boston 2010) http://www.sptechcon.com/ being held October 20-22nd in Boston, MA. Optimal IdM will showcase the new release of its Virtual Identity Server for SharePoint™ (VIS for SharePoint™) solution (formally announced in April 2010). The new version of VIS for SharePoint builds on its existing integration and now fully supports the SharePoint 2010 claims-based model. VIS for SharePoint enables organizations to rapidly and easily deploy SharePoint across multiple forests without the need for trusts. It also provides customers with full Office integration and an increase in security and control for SharePoint. In addition, the new release of VIS for SharePoint offers claims-based authentications and authorizations through Optimal IdM’s Virtual Identity Server™ virtual directory. Using VIS for SharePoint, claims are now dynamic in nature. Claims can be defined by user attributes that exist in multiple data stores, such as other LDAP directories (e.g. eDirectory or Sun) or even databases. This dynamic attribute-based access control is not possible out-of-the-box with Windows Identity Foundation or SharePoint alone. VIS for SharePoint enables the permissions in SharePoint to change automatically as the data changes on the user objects; significantly reducing the administration of SharePoint. Additionally, VIS for SharePoint provides capabilities for automating manual and difficult processes such as profile imports. With Microsoft expected to officially launch SharePoint 2010 on May 12, 2010, Michael Brengs, Managing Partner of Optimal IdM, is proud to showcase the latest release of its Virtual Identity Server for SharePoint product at the upcoming SPTechCon Boston show. He states, “We have worked closely with the beta program of SharePoint 2010 and believe we have a fantastic integration with SharePoint 2010 that adds significant features and functionality that our customers want. Our VIS for SharePoint solution is built upon our Virtual Identity Server (.NET LDAP virtual directory) platform. Building solutions on top of the virtual directory is a key differentiator for us in the marketplace. We have leveraged the virtual directory technology to build solutions for our customer’s problems; whether that is for SharePoint, compliance and reporting, or easing application deployment.” To set up a demo prior to the show or to obtain pricing and availability, please contact sales@optimalidm.com via email or access additional information on the web at http://www.optimalidm.com/products/VISforSharePoint2010.
