In 2010, I gave a (in retrospect somewhat optimistic) talk at the Catalyst conference in which I described a pull-based architecture for account provisioning. SAML was a central part of that architecture, especially in supporting Just-In-Time (JIT) Provisioning, which I was sure was going to be important to the evolution of enterprise cloud applications. In 2011,
It’s that time of year, when everyone does their best Carnac the Magnificent impression and rolls out their prognostications and top 10 lists. Here at Identropy, we’re not so sure about trying to predict the future, but we do know a thing or two about helping customers succeed in meeting the goals of their IAM

This is probably an anomaly, but May is shaping up to be a pretty jam-packed month for me in the identity-related conference circuit, with some great events going on where I will be speaking/hoping to speak. My participation is still subject to some approvals coming through, but I’m fairly confident on that front. So there
With the Sun acquisition complete, we can finally start talking about what this means for various product lines.
