Kuppinger Cole’s free Virtual Conference on Access Governance

The identity management analyst team over at Kuppinger Cole is organizing a free virtual conference on Enterprise Access Governance over the next two days (December 8 and 9).

Can OAuth do what SPML hasn’t?

I spent an interesting week at HQ last week, trying to deal with some of the craziness that occurs every time a major release is on its way. But far more interesting were all the identity management conversations I engaged in during the course of the week – in hallways, over meals and especially over

Executive IdM Session at OpenWorld: It’s All About Managing Risk

One of the things I did at OpenWorld this year was attend an Executive IdM Session that brought together folks from the IdM team and some of our best customers to share information and talk about the future direction of identity management at Oracle.

Screencast of my OpenWorld Session on “IdM and the Cloud”

IdM and the Cloud: A Chance To Do Things Right

Over 2 months ago (wow, time really flies when you are trying to keep up with the Twitter firehose), I wrote an introductory post to a topic that I am beginning to examine in some detail – the impact Cloud Computing will have on Identity Management. Back in May, I tweeted that I believe cloud

Burton Catalyst 2009: There are Lessons to Learn

After a good start to the conference, I went into day 2 thinking that there was going to be more opportunity for me to blog while in the session room because the content would be fairly familiar. But there were lots of good nuggets of information spread throughout the talks, enough to generate a generous
