This collaboration brings forth a new era of efficiency, security, and productivity, empowering organizations to streamline operations and optimize performance seamlessly.

Capabilities Tailored to Support IBM i Environments: Comprehensive IBM i Application Profile Integration. Avatier supports IBM i app profile integration for any custom application or native application on the IBM i platform.

This capability allows administrators to manage application profiles effortlessly, ensuring users have the right access to the applications they need while maintaining robust security controls. Avatier's Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) feature offers a secure, convenient, and efficient solution for users to enroll, reset, and regain access to their accounts. By reducing the burden on IT support teams for password-related issues, organizations can save time and resources while enhancing security.

Avatier's Self -Service User & Group Management not only offers the ability to securely automate and streamline user and group management processes within IBM i environments but also integrates seamlessly with HR systems. This integration enables organizations to synchronize employee data effortlessly, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in user provisioning and de-provisioning. Moreover, the platform enhances user experience by incorporating a shopping cart feature for requesting access to resources. Employees can browse available applications and services, add them to their cart, and submit access requests with ease.

This intuitive interface streamlines the access request process, reducing administrative burden and improving turnaround times. To further optimize access management, Avatier's solution includes a workflow engine with push notifications to user web browser for approving access requests. This ensures that access requests undergo appropriate review and authorization, maintaining security and compliance standards.

By combining HR integration, a shopping cart for access requests, and workflow automation for access approvals, Avatier's Self- Service User & Group Management empowers organizations to efficiently manage user access, enhance collaboration, and bolster productivity within IBM i environments. Access Governance ensures compliance with regulatory requirements through Avatier's access governance solutions. Organizations can maintain regulatory compliance within IBM i environments with auditing, reporting, and policy enforcement capabilities.
