Anakam.ODI™ On-Demand Identity is the commercially-hosted version of the Anakam Identity Suite®, a comprehensive, Web-based identity and authentication solution delivered in an ASP model. Anakam.ODI On-Demand Identity provides a comprehensive web-based solution that delivers identity verification, identity proofing, credentialing and two-factor authentication in an ASP model. The enterprise can make Web-services calls that will allow the remote invocation of Anakam products and solutions by enterprise systems so that users will interact directly with enterprise Web-pages while Anakam delivers appropriate security services in the background. Appointed and approved enterprise administrators are given secure access to administrative functions through the Anakam.AdminPro® Administrative Console and Remote Reporting interfaces.
Identity and Credentials on Demand
The Anakam Identity Suite® software was specifically designed to meet the complex challenge inherent in deploying large-scale, consumer-facing portals by providing a cost-effective, easy to use, and flexible solution for identity proofing and two-factor authentication of extremely large numbers of end users. The Anakam identity proofing solution, the front end of the Anakam Identity Suite®, was developed as the first step in a comprehensive end-to-end process that allows immediate registration and issuance of strong authentication credentials to individuals who wish to gain access to sensitive information and transactional resources in cases where it is impractical to perform face-to-face identity proofing, and where it is impractical to offer card or token-based authentication solutions, but compliance with federal IT security guidelines (such as OMB M-04-04, OMB M-07-16, and NIST SP 800-63 Level 3) or other privacy and security regulations is required.
Anakam developed its flagship two-factor authentication solution to equip customers with a cost-effective means of providing flexible and strong authentication to very large scale, diverse audiences both inside and outside their enterprise. With Anakam's innovative approach, you can offer security and privacy to all of your customers, business partners, and employees with no hardware tokens or smart cards to distribute or software to download unless required.
A: Anakam.ODI™ On-Demand Identity is a Web-based service that delivers identity verification, identity proofing, credential verification and two-factor authentication in an Application Service Provider (ASP) model. Instead of installing the Anakam Identity Suite® on their own servers, organizations can make a Web Services call to Anakam.ODI™ for identity-related transactions. The fact that these transactions are hosted outside the enterprise will not be visible to end users.
Q: What makes the Anakam Identity Suite® different?A: Unique in the industry, the Anakam Identity Suite® provides a single, integrated platform for not only two-factor authentication, but also no touch, risk-based identity verification and knowledge-based authentication. Using seamless access to numerous, proprietary consumer demographic and credit data sources, these systems prevent fraudsters from being able to enroll for online services on the front end. Once enrolled and accurately identified, our system allows you to check the professional credentials of a user electronically, prior to allowing access to downstream business applications.
Q: Why would an enterprise want to use Anakam.ODI™ rather than installing the Anakam software internally?A: Anakam.ODI™ provides enterprises with yet another dimension of flexibility. It is an ideal choice for organizations that use or wish to move to other cloud-based computing services because On-Demand Identity allows them to pay a per-transaction fee whenever they need an identity-related service without the investment in the supporting infrastructure.
Q: What if I already have a Web access management solution in place?A: Anakam recognizes that most of our customers have existing solutions to manage the core identities of the individuals in their enterprise. Many enterprises actually have a variety of such tools on an application basis. With Anakam.ODI™, the enterprise can make a Web Services call to our identity and authentication service with any of its core identity management solutions.
