SAP Launches New Version Of NetWeaver
SAP has launched a Governance Risk and Compliance web service targeting the GRC issue. SAP said the software enables the seamless integration of identity management software solutions with SAP GRC Access Control.
A company press release said based on open standards and built on the SAP NetWeaver platform, these new Web services open up the full capabilities of SAP GRC Access Control and allow identity management software vendors to tightly integrate their respective solutions, providing customers with a single set of tools to efficiently and cost-effectively manage user identities, enforce corporate security policies and ensure compliance with regulatory mandates.
SAP, together with IBM and Sun Microsystems, is responding to the challenges faced by CFOs and CIOs in proving to auditors that they are effectively controlling their financial and IT-related risks by combining complete, automated, end-to-end compliance controls with the full range of identity management functionality, the prepared press release said.
In addition to the integration efforts currently underway by IBM and Sun, SAP is also using these new Web services to integrate its SAP NetWeaver Identity Management component, created following SAP's acquisition of identity management software provider MaXware earlier this year, with SAP GRC Access Control to provide an end-to-end solution for compliant provisioning across heterogeneous IT environments. The provision of open interfaces to link SAP products with those of third-party software providers continues SAP's open partner strategy and preserves its customers' freedom to build and deploy a solution of choice that best fits their needs, using both SAP and non-SAP components.
