The Purpose Driven IAM Life
[Cross-posted from the Identropy blog, where I will be contributing some posts from now on] Another Catalyst conference (now Gartner Catalyst) has come to an end with the former Burton Group analysts challenging us once more to do better as an industry.

From The End Spring New Beginnings

The lineup in the Identity Management track is loaded with information, especially for anyone looking to learn more [...]

Connection Denied: Why the Military should play with Social Media
