Dublin, Ohio – January 16, 2006 – The Dot Net Factory is announcing the release of EmpowerID 4.0 at the RSA conference in San Francisco. The RSA conference is the perfect platform to launch EmpowerID 4.0 the first Identity Management and Self-Service application built on Microsoft’s Windows Workflow Foundation. EmpowerID’s Windows Workflow architecture is a significant upgrade to the suite of products that include MyPassword, MyInfo, WhitePages and WebManager, representing a new paradigm for Identity Management products. It is not merely an Identity Management solution with workflow added, but an Identity Management solution built using a workflow platform. Windows Workflow Foundation is a key component of the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and was created to provide a single workflow and business rules engine platform for building scalable enterprise applications. What sets EmpwerID 4.0 apart from the competition is at its core it is a rich set of reusable workflow activities orchestrated together to form a comprehensive identity management suite.

The EmpowerID 4.0 Suite supports an organization’s business processes by automating common repetitive functions and enabling self-service and delegation for the rest. A core set of any organization’s processes involve Identity Management activities like user and group management, password management, user provisioning, group self-service, account recertification, and administration automation – All of which are vital to the business efficiency and regulatory compliance of any organization.

EmpowerID’s Workflow-Powered Identity Management standardizes an organization’s Identity Management tasks into automated, self-documenting, and auditable processes. Workflow automation reduces the likelihood of security issues caused by human error and also increases the efficiency and speed of common administration activities such as new employee provisioning.

Key EmpowerID Workflow Features

Customizable Approval Workflows can easily be added to any Identity Management process enabling auditable chains of authority to automate user lifecycle management.
Upon time-out, approval workflows can be configured to automatically escalate a request to an alternate authority. Escalations can be based upon business rules, reporting relationships, or manual delegation by the selection of an alternate approver.
Users may submit, view, approve, or reject workflow requests using a web-based dashboard. The dashboard also comes with interfaces for users working in Microsoft SharePoint or Outlook Web Access.
All core functionality used to build the EmpowerID Suite version 4.0 is exposed as reusable Windows Workflow Foundation Activities. These activities are available for use in Microsoft Visual Studio for creating custom solutions leveraging an organization’s custom code and existing enterprise business services or components.
