Oracle Cerner Identity Management Case Study

This case study details the implementation of Optimal IdM's Virtual Identity Server (VIS) by Oracle Cerner, a prominent electronic health record vendor in the U.S. The document outlines the challenges faced by Cerner in managing user identities across multiple Active Directory (AD) forests, which was critical due to the interconnected nature of healthcare professionals working across various hospitals. The solution involved the deployment of VIS to streamline identity management, allowing for a unified view of user identities and efficient mapping of user accounts based on hospital-specific prefixes. The case study presents the significant results achieved, including increased efficiency, improved security, and enhanced user experience. With VIS, Cerner automated identity management processes, strengthened security measures, and ensured that healthcare professionals could access necessary resources seamlessly. The flexible architecture of VIS also provided scalability, enabling Cerner to adapt their identity management solution as their organization evolved.
