OUR PARTNERS

We believe that UNIFY has one of, if not, the largest team(s) of Microsoft skilled Identity Management specialists in the APAC Region. Our team's effort is not diverted to solutions outside of the security niche and our success is predicated on recruiting exceptional talent to develop their Microsoft security skills.

UNIFY sells and implements directly in each State of Australia, and provides solution and services support to Microsoft Partners in Australia, Asia and the US.

UNIFY traditionally targets Enterprise and Mid Market segments but has qualified for Microsoft's Small Business Specialisation with a view to assisting small businesses with their security concerns. Our client base includes Whole of State Governments; banks; utilities; universities; education departments; Local, State and Commonwealth Government agencies.

Microsoft stands at the gateway to realising a complete automated real time Identity and Access management solution for the global enterprise market. With its ecosystem partners Omada (2008 Microsoft Partner of the Year for Security Solutions, Identity and Secure Access) and UNIFY, Microsoft has a complete solution at a compelling price point. The Microsoft products for Identity & Access Management solutions (Active Directory, ILM 2007/MIIS 2003) together with Access Management Partners and UNIFY tools enables organisations to implement robust solutions.

UNIFY Solutions has developed a range of solutions to enhance MIIS/ILM including

• UNIFYNow Event Broker which facilitates the real time management and triggering of event based data flow for MIIS
• The SharePoint Enterprise Provisioning suite which enables customers to automatically create and terminate user accounts between Active Directory and MOSS - including User Profiles, WSS Lists and User Groups
• The Identity Broker suite which provides specific HR centric MIIS/ILM based provisioning functionality and a rapid MA development tool.

From 1 May 2005, MaXware AS closed its office in Australia and appointed UNIFY as sole distributor of its Identity Management products in Australia and New Zealand. Tore Wold, then CEO of MaXware, and Mark Goodall, Managing Director of UNIFY Solutions established this relationship to offer enhanced value to MaXware customers and partners through the focus of Australia's leading Identity Management organisation on the positioning and support of MaXware technology. Acting on behalf of MaXware AS, UNIFY took on responsibility for existing customers and partners as well as support services.

By mid 2006, Maxware (through UNIFY) had extended its reach into the Australian market beyond its major customers in Telstra, Defence and DEWR with new contracts in the Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources (DITR) and ACT Electricity & Water / AGL and a major extension of its product range in the Department of Defence.

In 2007 SAP acquired MaXware and late in the year UNIFY became SAP's first Australian Specialist Solutions Partner specialising in Identity Management. Under the agreement, UNIFY is working closely with SAP, its partner community and SAP Identity Management customers to architect and implement SAP Netweaver identity Management Solutions.

Headquartered in Walldorf, Germany, SAP is the world's largest business software company with more than 43,800 employees at in more than 50 countries worldwide. With the acquisition of the MaXware, SAP entered the Identity Management field by integrating the world class MaXware identity products (now SAP Netweaver Identity Manager) into its HR, GRC and Finance suites to directly solve its customers' compliance, risk, security and automation requirements.

Unlike most players in the identity management field who have historically approached these critical business issues from an infrastructure perspective, SAP is uniquely positioned to address the niche with all the business stakeholders in its customer base. SAP Netweaver Identity Manager is the logical and safest choice for organisations that plan to use their SAP applications as authoritative sources for identity information.

UNIFY provides solution architecture, connector development, training and deployment services to SAP and its ecosystem partners.
