Avatier Corp., a leading provider of identity access management software, today announced the integration of its Identity Enforcer user provisioning module with Microsoft Lync 2010. With this new integration, Identity Enforcer automates Microsoft Lync user provisioning and deprovisioning of Active Directory accounts, thereby greatly reducing risk and optimizing workflow.

Using a single, familiar interface through which users can keep track of their contacts’ availability; send an IM; make a phone call; or start or join an audio, video or Web conference, Microsoft Lync provides rich Unified Communications functionality for today’s organizations. But it can also introduce serious risk and operational inefficiencies to an environment through manual user provisioning and deprovisioning of Active Directory accounts. But by integrating Avatier’s Identity Enforcer module with Microsoft Lync, these tasks are automated. Identity Enforcer can also be used to Lync-enable existing Active Directory accounts, remove Microsoft Lync from any Active Directory account, or even manage a user’s conference policy throughout the account’s lifetime. With Identity Enforcer in place as the gatekeeper, organizations using Microsoft Lync maintain tighter control over provisioning and deprovisioning its users, in turn streamlining operations and reducing risk.
