I'll Get My Coat

Forrester Wave

Having just spent a week locked in a snow bound room at the Sun Burlington campus I'm pleased to say that we successfully completed the Forrester Wave event. Forrester sent over an Identity Management analyst who walked through a thorough set of use-cases regarding Identity Management.

Now some of you might remember back in January 2006 Sun where voted by Forrester the leader in the User Provisioning Market with our Sun Java Systems Identity Manager product.

It was a real challenge to demonstrate all the use-cases in the one day time limit we were given, usually to walk through such a wide range of topics relating to Identity would take at least several days if not a week. Forrester where interested in seeing Identity Management use-cases relating to use compliance (certification and SOD), ease of provisioning to federation and access management (both Web SSO and Enterprise SSO). Needless to say we where all impressed by the stamina and range of knowledge with the Forrester analyst, not many people could keep up with the huge array of Identity Management experience and knowledge that Sun fielded that cold day in Boston.

Expect to see the report from Forrester in the first quarter of 2008.
