Idtechex Case Study: Fort McPherson Army Base, Vehicle Security, USA (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - Fort McPherson Army base in Georgia is the home of the US Army Forces Command. The Fort McPherson Army Base in Atlanta, Georgia, is testing a new security system based on technology from Intermec and Micromation Inc., of Houston. The system uses Intermec's Intellitag RFID technology and Micromation's Intelligent Gate Controller and access control software to enhance the vehicle and personnel screening efforts of military policemen at the installation's gates. The package also allows controlled access to specific internal areas of the base without an increase of manpower, further securing the post. |

Idtechex Case Study: Boat Theft Prevention, Germany (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - Germany has 660,000 small recreational boats of which 560,000 are registered and insured and about 100,000 in use but unregistered. Around 2,000 of these boats are stolen each year, 95 per cent of which are never recovered and with an average value of 30,000 Euros each the cost of boat theft in Germany is now running at around 60 million Euros. A new and innovative smart label system based on Philips Semiconductors' ICODE technology now protects the boats against theft and provides secure electronic identification. There are many benefits to mark and identify the boats in a way that cannot be compromised as well as providing absolute authenticity of ownership. |

IDTechEx Case Study: Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, Baggage, USA (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - McCarran International Airport in Nevada, USA brokered a five-year contract with Matrics to supply RFID tags for use in tracking passenger luggage, as part of the airport's commitment to improving customer safety and satisfaction. FKI Logistex will provide the system architecture and integration under a separate agreement. By law, airlines must now remove bags from aircraft when a passenger fails to board, in case a terrorist again attempts to destroy an aircraft with a bomb in an unaccompanied, checked suitcase. Without RFID, this is a time-intensive, laborious process, which can extensively delay flight departures. An RFID tag will be printed and attached to each bag at the ticket counter or kerbside. |

Case Study - Integration of Netegrity SiteMinder With TIBCO PortalBuilder (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - A Fortune 10 company, and one of the world's leading providers of IT systems solutions, engaged SDG to implement Netegrity SiteMinder for security, single sign-on, and user personalization. The steps were to incorporate a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) design to use for SiteMinder and design a framework, which would later serve as the primary security server for user authentication as well as integrate the customized LDAP design by utilizing specially designed modules to accommodate the functionality of TIBCO PortalBuilder. The solution allows users an efficient means to query, add, delete, and edit information in the database by specified groups. |

Ministry of Defence Case Study (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - The Ministry of Defence as with many government bodies in the United Kingdom is updating many areas of its business to take advantage of new technologies and the Internet. The Ministry of Defence required that in the solution process all authentication information should be within the DMZ. When using Novell Directory Services this would require additional ports to be opened in the secure zone Firewall to allow NDS processes to operate, which was seen as an additional security risk. With additional assistance from Novell Consulting to build DIRXML connections between NDS trees and Critical Path's (ISOCOR) directory the DECS solution was formed. The iChain Authentication server located in the DMZ uses LDAP to authenticate users and retrieve access control polices from the "Authentication" and "Access Control" directories. |

Jacobi Medical Center Uses RFID Wristbands for Greater Accuracy and Convenience (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - Hospital caregivers either used the Medical Record Number (MRN) to find a patient's paper files or entered this MRN into their computers to pull up relevant data. Paper files and manual entry, however, often led to errors and inaccuracy. Siemens Business Services integrated the necessary software with the hospital's portable computers and developed both the software to print patient information on the RFID wristbands and the user interface for reading them. With the introduction of RFID, it achieved accuracy in patient identification and speed in emergency treatment. |

Back-Office Migration Supports Anti-Terrorism (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - The German Bundeskartellamt (Federal Cartel Office) is an independent federal authority of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Labour. They wanted to migrate all existing servers and the network administration tools to Linux/OSS. The migration was completed successfully and, in the eyes of the project team, in a record-breaking time. The number of servers was indeed reduced to six, providing a more stable server environment with a higher availability. Using OpenLDAP has proven to be a good choice and is found to be a meaningful replacement for Active Directory by being cheaper and truly open for future extensions. |

Imanami Case Study: King's College Hospital (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - Damian had to share key identity data with an external system. It had limited time, a very limited budget, and it was not sure if your data is accurate in the first place. DTM looked like an ideal solution to Damian's problem. DTM is designed to synchronize Active Directory with various other databases such as Lotus Notes, Oracle, SQL Server, PeopleSoft, iPlanet, SAP or LDAP and, importantly for Damian, CSV files or Excel spreadsheets. DTM had a simple and intuitive interface and didn't require advanced coding skills to apply transformations to the data as it was synchronized. |

Osterman Research Case Study: WorldCom (Dec 24 2004 01:02 GMT) - This case study presents an overview of WorldCom's application of iPlanet directory solutions. WorldCom found itself growing along side a myriad of acquisitions. In addition to its traditional communications business, the company needed to address new lines of business, which include the switching fabric, data multiplexing, services provisioning and some application and service provider (ASP) business. In 1994, employees recognized that the same information was stored in many places throughout their organization. Not only were there multiple sources of information, but also many conflicts about who owned the authoritative copy of that information. |
