Siemens and BT form identity and access management alliance

Siemens Medical Solutions and BT have signed a worldwide reseller agreement for the provision of identity and access management services to global clients.

BT is looking to use Siemens’ technology to fully take advantage of its international market reach on client projects.

With its DirX products, Siemens offers a fully integrated identity and access management product suite.

Siemens is able to combine its DirX products, professional services and technology into a complete system, which also includes smartcards and physical and logical access.

DirX identity and access management also allows simple integration with SAP systems, such as SAP Netweaver.

The products offered can be operated either on the customer’s site or as a hosted variant at one of BT’s secure datacentres.
