NetIQ has announced SocialAccess 1.0 to help organizations to connect with customers and constituents by allowing them to use their unique social identity and profile information from providers such as Facebook, Twitter, Google and others.
SocialAccess1.0 available worldwide allows business and government entities to leverage social identity providers to share select identity information for authentication via OAuth and OpenID Connect.
SocialAccess1.0 enables large-scale “bring your own identity” (BYOI) services that simplify how organizations interact with stakeholders and develop greater levels of customer intimacy, all while increasing brand loyalty and reducing IT costs.
Geoff Webb, Director, Solution Strategy at NetIQ said, “Consumers are demanding convenient access to more services from more endpoints than ever and organizations need to be able to seize the opportunities that social identity, mobile computing, cloud and other trends naturally create. BYOI is a great example of the opportunity to build on existing processes, improve existing services and respond more rapidly to customers. Savvy, forward-thinking organizations are doing just that with SocialAccess, which complements existing access management strategies and improves business enablement in a way that traditional approaches cannot match.”
