By leveraging the robust foundation of our core role based platform we aim to empower our clients to seamlessly manage their users access permissions and resources across the entire enterprise domain.

While the primary C20 RBAC service already receives billions of hits per day we intend to enhance the system further by evolving it into a true platform - one capable of handling the privileging needs of the wide array of enterprise products available today. To succeed we will divide our system into more granular modules focus on reliability improve scalability and design/enforce clear interfaces for data access.
