While we make a big deal about new software product introductions, it is easy to overlook that the real proof is in the pudding - when these software products are successfully implemented. One critical part of preparing to implement an Identity solution is training. I was pleased to learn this week that Sun Education is now offering an Advanced Deployment course that drives deeply into topics such as Active Directory synchronization and the finer points of self-service provisioning. This should be a big benefit to Sun's customers and integration partners.

I also understand that a new admin and maintenance course is on its way. Thanks, guys. Keep up the good work.
