Arcot Partners with Citi to Deliver Managed Identity Services

Increasing pressure for regulatory compliance, globalization and the distributed nature of business today makes identity management one of the most critical business problems for organizations to solve. High levels of identity assurance are essential for online transactions, especially sensitive ones that need signatures and approvals. Citi Managed Identity Services provides clients the necessary security and identity assurance to transact in various, legally-compliant ways with confidence.

Power of partnership

Arcot and Citi Managed Identity Services have teamed up to provide companies with high-assurance digital identity credentials with the right degree of assurance and confidence. By coupling our industry-leading offerings, clients can gain greater visibility and control over critical business processes.

Citi's high assurance digital identities with Arcot's software-only authentication solutions help organizations to:

• eliminate paper from business processes,
• accelerate approval and processing times,
• deliver strong authentication and digital signing capabilities for employees, customers, and partners,
• improve business critical workflows with auditable and non-repudiable digital signatures,
• and integrate strong authentication and digital signing into existing SSO or IAM applications without changing user experience.

Using the combined Arcot and Citi solution, customers can identify individual end users to enable "trusted" digital collaborations between business partners — ideal for companies needing to cut processing times with paperless workflows, reduce internal lag-times and remove the expense of paper communication, all without compromising visibility and governance.

By focusing efforts in these important areas, Arcot and Citi are able to help organizations better manage risk, while meeting compliance and regulatory obligations.
