NEXIS & OpenText

Making Identity Governance Usable, Transparent, and Sustainable

Extended Governance With NEXIS

Nexis is an integration and governance partner for OpenText Identity Manager, extending its IGA capabilities with advanced governance, analytics, and collaboration.

NEXIS adds a dedicated governance layer on top of OpenText Identity Manager, enabling organizations to modernize identity governance without disrupting existing IAM operations.

Complementing OpenText Identity Manager

OpenText Identity Manager provides robust provisioning, identity lifecycle automation, and connector-based integrations.
NEXIS complements this foundation by focusing on governance usability, transparency, and design quality, especially in complex enterprise environments.

Together, OpenText Identity Manager and NEXIS enable:

Clearer governance processes beyond technical workflows
Improved collaboration between IAM, business, and compliance teams
Scalable governance models without increasing operational complexity

Decoupling IGA User Processes From the OpenText UI

One of the key integration benefits is the ability to decouple IGA user-facing governance processes from the OpenText Identity Manager UI.

With NEXIS:

Business users, application owners, and compliance teams work in NEXIS instead of technical IDM interfaces
Governance activities such as reviews, role design, and documentation are handled in a dedicated governance UI
OpenText Identity Manager remains focused on execution and lifecycle automation

This separation improves usability, adoption, and governance quality without replacing or disrupting the underlying IAM platform.

Seamless LDAP-Based Integration

NEXIS integrates seamlessly with OpenText Identity Manager via LDAP connectivity, including support for:

Standard identity and entitlement objects
Custom objects and schema extensions commonly used in NetIQ deployments
Read and write scenarios depending on the governance use case

This approach avoids invasive changes and allows NEXIS to fit naturally into existing OpenText Identity Manager architectures.
