I am working on a team which is involved in setting up Tivolii solutions for other organizations. So, I giving example of one of our clients. Initially when a new user joined the organization the user's ID has to be created in the following three places:- * HR - to store the identity and process it accordingly for salary, bonuses and all other financial and HR related work. * Active Directory:- to allow the user to log into the system and managing the user under various access levels. * Tivoli - create the user's ID in Tivoli and allow the user to pass through various workflows for different access on different resources in the organization and then managing their passwords on different applications. After Tivoli has been implemented all these processes can be combined into ONE and become automated, i.e. we have integrated Tivoli with HR products and with Active Directory. So, as soon as HR enters the new user's information in the HR product, Tivoli picks the information from there and automatically creates the account in Tivoli as per the information received from HR. Tivoli then creates the account in Active Directory without manual intervention and in real-time. Also, the password management also becomes centralized.
