1.0 Introduction

OpenText Identity Governance collects information from various identity and application data sources including OpenText™ Identity Manager and guides authorized users through the key phases of the governance process. You can install OpenText Identity Governance on premises or access it as a service, and then collect data from cloud and on-premises data sources and send change requests to fulfillment targets. When using OpenText Identity Governance as a service and collecting data from on-premises systems, you will need to install the Cloud Bridge Agent and configure data source connections in OpenText Identity Governance.
