Earlier this week, Deloitte announced that it acquired the Identity and Access Management business of Iditarod Systems, Inc., a leading boutique systems integrations firm with deep experience in implementing Sun's Identity Manager product.

I think this is an excellent move for Deloitte and for the Iditarod team. I have long been impressed with the high calibre of talent and experience in the Iditarod people. This acquisition will solidify Deloitte's position in the ranks of major SI partners supporting Sun's Identity Management product line, and will give extended reach and increased opportunity to the talented Iditarod team.

Additionally, Deloitte's commitment to Enterprise Role Lifecyle Management, which leverages the Vaau technology Sun is acquiring, positions Deloitte/Iditarod and Sun/Vaau in a joint position of strength to implement Role-based Indentity Management strategies.
