Local Government Intranet

Overview
Nassau County New York engaged ENI Systems to design and develop their Intranet Solution to improve operational efficiency and security for their internal solutions.

The need
Nassau County New York needed to design , build, and integrate an Intranet Solution, with employee self service applications, legacy systems, and to overhaul its user identity and access management processes to improve operational efficiency.

The solution
The local government entity engaged ENI Systems, an IBM Premier Business Partner to design a customised solution using IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM Web Content Management, and Tivoli to implement a new Intranet Solution.

The benefit
The new solution surfaced and integrated all of Nassau County ‘s internal facing applications via a single portal interface, delivering personalised content to all employees and departments countywide, and enabled a single signon security capability to all employees.

Nassau County Government, one of the largest local government entities in the United States, with over 10,000 employees, wanted to design, build, and integrate its disparate systems, build various employee self service applications, and to overhaul its user identity and access management processes to improve operational efficiency.

Nassau County sought to better integrate and manage its internal solutions and access to significantly reduce the number of passwords an end user needs to remember; and automate how employees are provided with access to its main applications.

The local government entity engaged ENI Systems, an end-to- end systems integrators specializing exclusively in IBM technologies, to design and implement a customised solution using IBM WebSphere Portal, Web Content Management, and Tivoli identity and access management products. The solution centralises the local Government management of user identities and access rights across heterogeneous IT resources and give Nassau County something it never had before: precise knowledge and control of who has access to applications.

Centralised and synchronised security

ENI Systems designed and built the solution using IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator, IBM Tivoli Directory Server and IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, which runs on the IBM WebSphere Application Server.

The solution integrates with the hospital's human resources records and automatically provides role-defined access to appropriate administrative and core applications for most employees.

Prior to the ENI Systems and IBM solution, the creation, modification and
