Identity management is making its mark
Jon Oltsik from CNET was out at the
Digital ID World conference and has posted a summary of this thoughts
here: organisations are serious about deployment; projects are moving from tactical to strategic; SOA approaches apply to identity too; standards are starting to help; and identity is an infrastructure issue. In fact, a pretty good summary of the key drivers, enablers and implications we call out in our
identity management report. As the primary author of that report, it's comforting to receive such validation from Digital ID World because its primary focus is those adopting identity management solutions, rather than those selling them, or as Jon puts it:
To be honest, I expected a Vendorthon featuring business card exchanges, partnering discussions, and cocktail parties. Instead I heard real business discussions, user requirements, and bright technologists discussing solutions. This was not only refreshing but it also reflects the improving state of identity technology.
Indeed it does!
