IDM Integration Joins Internet2’s InCommon Affiliate Program

September 29, 2014 – IDM Integration has joined Internet2’s InCommon Affiliate Program. IDM Integration (IDMI) helps customers build identity management solutions. From helping a commercial service provider overcome a single Shibboleth or SAML issue to helping an organization develop a comprehensive SSO environment, IDMI specializes in open source software integration and support. The company provides support for a wide variety of SSO layering technologies and custom integrations with ERPs, portals, learning management systems and other software systems.

“We are pleased to have IDM Integration join our Affiliate Program,” said Klara Jelinkova, senior associate vice president and chief information technology officer at the University of Chicago and chair of the InCommon Steering Committee. “We value their experience in higher education and with some of the key technology used by InCommon participants.”

The InCommon Affiliate Program provides the research and education community with a way to safely and efficiently connect with partners that can help build the necessary underlying infrastructure that supports federated identity and access management. 

"We started IdM Integration because we saw a need for commercial Shibboleth support,” says Dave Alexander, one of the partners in IDMI. “We've been working behind the scenes with service providers to help them federate with InCommon, so we're excited to finally join InCommon as an affiliate.  We specialize in providing support and professional services for Shibboleth, and we are looking forward to helping higher ed and K-12 institutions realize the value of implementing federated authentication."

As a way of celebrating joining the Affiliate Program, IDMI is offering InCommon participants a $100 discount on its most popular service, the Shibboleth Health Check. The service ($400 with the discount) includes two hours of phone consultation followed by two hours of research and follow-up to help resolve issues in the Shibboleth and single sign-on environment. The offer is good through October 31, 2014. Email for more information.
