greenhouse gas (GHG) management and
reporting capabilities for use with Oracle
E-Business Suite and Oracle’s JD Edwards
EnterpriseOne financial applications. Ndevr’s
solution provides data capture, analysis, and
presentation capabilities to help organizations
assess their carbon footprint, comply with

The Ndevr extensions
support setup defini-

tricity, and fuel consumption, either within
the context of an existing transaction or as a
separate function. Ndevr’s computation layer
converts captured data into GHG metrics,
which are analyzed using Oracle Business
Intelligence Suite, Enterprise Edition Plus and
presented in prebuilt, extensible dashboards.
The Ndevr solution can also be used
to track metrics such as waste and water
consumption. It complies with standards
published by the World Resources Institute
and the World Business Council for

Beyond Trust Joins the Oracle
Extended Identity Management
Ecosystem
Oracle Gold Partner Beyond Trust has
announced that PowerBroker and
PowerKeeper, its flagship products for managing privileged user accounts, will both
become part of the Oracle Extended Identity
Management Ecosystem program of partner
solutions that are integrated with the Oracle
Identity Management framework.
PowerBroker protects the root account
(used by IT administrators) by binding
specific tasks to the privileged account
without disclosing the root password.
PowerBroker offers comprehensive and
reliable reporting, including the ability to
report on user entitlements.
PowerKeeper combines a secured, hardened appliance with Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS) 140 validated
encryption to protect passwords—and the
accounts they access—from unauthorized use.
The Oracle Identity Management framework enables enterprises to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of user identities across the
enterprise, while providing secure access to
enterprise resources.
