ForgeRock Inc. has announced that the company is updating its ForgeRock® Identity Platform, the first massively scalable, 100-percent commercial, open-source solution for Identity and Access Management (IAM), with new releases of OpenAM 12.0, OpenIDM 3.1 and OpenIG 3.1. OpenAM manages access to digital customer services, anytime and anywhere; OpenIDM seamlessly manages identities across all channels, on premises and in the cloud, with comprehensive identity administration capabilities; and OpenIG protects access to API resources and to cloud, mobile and enterprise apps with a next-generation gateway. With these new product releases, the ForgeRock Identity Platform adds new features and tools to speed IT service delivery and help organisations better understand and manage the relationships between people, devices, services and things, a requirement in the era of the digital industrial economy where everyone and everything is connected online.
“The latest release of the ForgeRock Identity Platform continues to deliver on our vision of empowering organisations to securely and quickly roll out new revenue-generating services in today’s digital business world, while placing greater emphasis on respecting end-user privacy,” said Mike Ellis, CEO, ForgeRock. “Organisations that use an identity-centric design can rapidly enable new cloud, mobile and IoT services to offer a richer, seamless customer experience across their entire ecosystems.”
To efficiently and effectively connect end users to relevant goods and services in the digital age, organisations are shifting the focus of their technology investments from lowering operational expenses to driving top-line revenue and customer value. This transformation has led to IAM investments that shift from employee-centric solutions to customer-centric solutions. Recent research by Gartner concludes that CEOs have ranked growth among their top three business priorities and are heavily investing in their digital businesses to achieve this goal.[1] And according to recent research from Capgemini Consulting and MIT, organisations investing in digital business are winning – the study found that “digital masters are on average 26 percent more profitable than their industry peers, and enjoy nine percent higher revenue from their physical assets.”
