ABSA: RBB Salesforce Onboarding Programme

 

Solution context

Salesforce Identity is an identity and access management (IAM) service with the following features.

  • Cloud-based user directories, so user accounts and information are stored and maintained in one place, while available to other services or apps.
  • Authentication services to verify users and keep granular control over user access.
  • Access management and authorization for third-party apps, including UI integration, so a user’s apps and services are readily available.
  • App user provisioning, which streamlines the process for providing and removing access to apps to multiple users simultaneously.
  • An API for viewing and managing Identity features.
  • Identity event logs for creating reports and dashboards on single sign-on (SSO) and connected app usage.
  • Salesforce Identity Connect for integrating Microsoft Active Directory (AD) with Salesforce. Identity Connect allows you to manage AD users and Salesforce users simultaneously.

Quarphix is currently involved with the development of an Onboarding Solution for ABSA Group (Including ABSA Rest of Africa). The programme involves several streams, using Salesforce as the tool of choice.
