Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) Deployments

Avaleris is a leading provider of customization and integration services for Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager 2010. Our heritage of being the original developer of idNexus – the predecessor to the Certificate Lifecycle Manager component of ILM 2007 and FIM 2010 – make us ideally suited to any project that requires FIM 2010 customization or integration with a range of other Identity products and technologies.

Forefront Identity Manager provides organizations with solutions to manage user accounts and access, password and certificate-based credentials, and identity-based policies across Windows and heterogeneous environments. Forefront Identity Manager includes the following major features within the four categories below:

• Credential Management: self-service password reset through Windows logon and SharePoint-based portal, extensible password reset gates, certificate lifecycle management, support for managing Windows Server 2008 certificates.

For all customizations, Avaleris follows a standard system development process of identifying the clients requirements, investigating alternatives, developing a prototype customization, testing, documenting the configuration, providing training and knowledge transfer and providing ongoing support and maintenance if required.
