The I3 Open Platform strategy

The ForgeRock open platform strategy sets the standard for a secure and integrated platform that lets you leverage your IT infrastructure to reach the next level.

Today production-quality open source equivalents exist for almost all proprietary software, including applications central to the IT infrastructure in your enterprise. Open standards give you interoperability with other software, and across vendors who share the focus on open standards. We have carefully chosen our best-of-breed open source components based on many different criteria: maturity, readiness for production, features, extensibility, quality, adoption and the strength of their communities.

We have based our strategy upon open source products because we believe in sharing. Everyone who is genuinely interested in making a product better will share if the development environment encourages it. Moreover, people tend to do their best work with the support of other people of similar goals and intent.

Using this as a foundation, ForgeRock has customised, aligned and added new features to these open source products to make them even more appealing for you with features we know are important to you. Our software is a fully integrated and tested solution stack. It provides you with a professional configuration and deployment documentation and is supported on a variety of hardware and operating system platforms. We have aligned these products with security, scalability, extensibility and manageability in mind to ensure that the sum of these products together gives you much greater assurance and capability then each isolated product.

Our platform can be divided into three tightly integrated enterprise architectural components: Interaction (the portal), Identity (Identity, Access and Federation management) and Business Integration. The way in which these three architectural components align defines our I3 software strategy.
