All right, I'm convinced. Externalized authorization, Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) and XACML, it all makes sense. But why Axiomatics rather than one of the full-suite Identity & Access Management vendors?

Authorization technology provides essential base components impacting your infrastructure. The integrity, confidentiality and availability of your most sensitive information is at stake. Hence, trust is key and selected vendors must be trustworthy.

These are some of the conclusions that existing Axiomatics customers have drawn:

• Performance. Customers with the resources to do thorough proof-of-concept evaluations in lab environments have concluded that Axiomatics Policy Server simply outperforms competing solutions. Axiomatics Policy Server is robust, reliable and fast which is why it was chosen for several of the largest XACML-based deployments in the world.
• Modular design. Axiomatics Policy Server and related software modules offer unparalleled flexibility due to its clean modular design which minimizes dependencies and enables efficient integration through standards based APIs.
• Standard compliance. Axiomatics Policy Server fully implements XACML 2.0 and 3.0 and supports related XACML profiles. Where competing solutions may offer an XACML interface for query/response, Axiomatics consistently implements all aspects of the standard.
• Commitment. Axiomatics is highly specialized in its technology niche and as such dependent on making customers succeed. "I wish all our vendors were like you", a customer recently wrote to Axiomatics customer support. We're grateful for these kind words but not surprised. We simply have to be better than the competition and therefore do our very best to make sure we stay ahead.
• Expertise. In most organizations the introduction of Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) means switching paradigms. This can be a daunting task without the expertise and support from people who truly understand the profound effects of transition towards a more sustainable infrastructure. The Axiomatics team has successfully delivered technology for some of the largest XACML deployments worldwide. Furthermore, Axiomatics products have developed out of research projects and several members of the company have Ph.Ds in areas relating to XACML and Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC).
• Vendor-independence for sustainability. One major advantage with a move in the direction of XACML and ABAC is that what formerly required proprietary code implemented in each single application, becomes standards-compliant and open in future infrastructures. Axiomatics is a dedicated vendor without a legacy of former proprietary solutions and vested interests, an ideal partner when future-proof access control solution are needed.

Axiomatics is the choice of organizations that require a dedicated vendor capable of offering a long-term partnership.
