This document discusses keeping entitlements and access controls in check through a platform approach. It outlines challenges with non-standard and brittle entitlement catalogs and access controls. The solution presented is Oracle Identity and Entitlements Server, which provides a unified platform to define entitlement catalogs and policies, access and provision requests, monitor enforcement and context, secure and redact data, and audit and certify access. Key benefits include reduced cost, increased responsiveness and agility, enhanced security and compliance, and reduced audit deficiencies compared to point solutions. The document promotes an on-demand webcast series with customer examples of successfully implementing a platform approach.
