As the shift to cloud-based services increases, identity management capabilities can be delivered as hosted services to help drive more operational efficiencies and to improve business agility.

8KMiles which acquired FuGen Solutions for $7.5mn in 2013 has launched EzIAM, an IAM solution targeted towards SMBs and large enterprises.

Powered by FuGen, EzIAM as the company claims combines the power of reliable user provisioning and user management solutions with the benefits of a hosted, cloud-based deployment model. The solution is aimed at SMBs and large enterprises that want a more flexible consumption model of SaaS (Software as a Service) via the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud or a secure virtual private cloud.

EzIAM customers can reap the benefits of a SaaS-based service with reduced CAPEX costs, IT overhead, and solution complexity while increasing business agility, scale and flexibility along with 8KMiles’ patented Federation Partner On-Boarding technology.

Customers can pay-as-they-go with individual services, or subscribe to all EzIAM services, centrally managed through a single dashboard. Core capabilities of EzIAM include advanced authentication, federated SSO and Identity Management and Governance services.

Together, these three elements provide companies with strong authentication and fraud detection, cross-domain SSO for optimum user convenience and productivity, and user lifecycle management with delegated administration and self-service access requests, password reset and profile management.
