"We are excited about the success we had during CWID 07," said Mark Goulart, senior vice president of BearingPoint's DoD practice, "and we look forward to sharing this solution with even more of the DoD community. BearingPoint is a leader in identity management and logical security solutions, and we believe this technology can deliver substantial improvements to security and access control for coalition partners."

CWID (www.cwid.js.mil) is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff's annual event to investigate technology solutions that focus on enhancing coalition interoperability. CWID's goal is to test and trial information technologies that are anticipated to be put into a coalition operational environment in the near term.

Coalition warriors require access to information in different security domains. Current manual processes to grant access create inefficiencies that impact the mission. BearingPoint's FiDMS addresses these inefficiencies by allowing users to link elements of their identity between accounts without centrally storing identity information. The solution also:

* Enables IT managers to easily and securely provision accounts and resources

* Provides Joint, Allied, and Coalition partners the ability to efficiently create trusted relationships by leveraging existing identity systems

* Allows realization of mission objectives while operating securely and at a lower cost

* Delivers a superior online experience, personalization, security and control over identity information.
