Federated Identity Management Services
We offer consulting services to support the adoption and implementation of identity and access management services through CANARIE's Canadian Access Federation (CAF).
Canada’s research and higher-ed institutions trust the Federated Identity Management (FIM) service to securely connect students, staff, and faculty to global resources – using a single, secure digital identity.
We have identity management technical experts that can support institutions with knowledge and resources to ensure a smooth and cost-effective transition. As regional partner with CANARIE and CAF, we support members in transitioning to the CAF identity and access management services. Our vision is to create a regional collaboration, a digital ‘circle of trust’. This enables members to join the CAF and improve access to online services.
