HP Dropping Identity - Burton Group
After months of spotty blogging, two posts in one day. You lucky monkeys!

Follow up on Burton Group report of HP stalling their investment in IdM - HP's Identity Retrenchment

So you don't have to buy the whole report, but you should still.

Anyway, as mentioned before, this blog is called Identity Crisis. This is an example of why I call it that.

Today's winners are the HP customers who now have to live with the idea the software they invested in will not be "end-of-lifed" but no new sales or products will be added to the mix. Only investments will be to keep the current customer base happy. Yep, we all know how that goes.

If their IdM products were senior managers, this is the equivalent to being replaced and put on a "special project" (usually followed by a resignation to spend more time with the family).

Ouch.  

Doubt you loyal HP customers will sleep well these next few nights.  We actually do feel for you and hope to help.

While not trying to appear to be an ambulance chaser, would like to extend an invitation to those sleepy HP customers to look into our complete Identity Management stack.  We have partners and professional services to help get you to a safer place.
