Sun announced today that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Neogent Incorporated, a long time Sun partner in delivering Identity Management solutions using the Sun Identity Manager product.

This is a very positive move, in my humble opinion. Not only does it immediately strengthen Sun's ability to provide highly-qualified expert services to accompany our Identity Management implementations, it will allow Sun to leverage the Neogent Velocity Identity Package technology, which can accelerate the implementation of the Sun Identity Manger product.

And in addition, the Neogent folks are really decent people whom are a pleasure to work with.
