With OVD, organizations are able to leverage existing identity stores and do not require any additional storage. In addition, OVD is very simple to install and configure. Because OVD allows organizations to re-use existing identity sources and provides application specific views it provides the following benefits:

• Reduced need for data synchronization
• Accelerate the time needed to deploy new applications
• Ease the pain of directory consolidation
• Quick and high Return on Investment

The Oracle Virtual Directory provides a real-time view of identity data stored in respositories such as directories and databases, which provides a common and consistent format for applications. By utilizing Oracle Virtual Directory, Aarisha Inc eliminated the need for a new directory, neutralizing the associated political questions - What data should a new directory include? Who will manage it? And more importantly, who will fund it?
