As you have probably noticed by now, this blog is not exactly an out-and-out product evangelism vehicle - though I am not sure whether Sun's product marketing teams regard that as a missed opportunity... or a lucky escape. ;^)
But then, you also know there are plenty of other Sun bloggers (Pat and Mark, to name but two) who are far better placed than I am to communicate the facts of Sun's Identity Management offerings (as opposed to my vapid pontifications), and who do so with style and enthusiasm.
That said, there are a couple of things which I thought it was at least worth mentioning:
- Identity Manager 8.0 came out last month, updating the Provisioning element of the IDM suite;
- I had a very useful session on Wednesday with Mel Holloway of our Role Manager team, and found out some more about its capabilities in role definition, data-cleansing and the extremely topical area of audit and compliance monitoring;
- The new release of their sibling product, Access Manager 8.0 is due out in September;
- This week, we've also announced OpenSSO Express: the same open source Identity Management and Web Single Sign-on as before, but backed up by an enterprise support programme.
And as you'll have gathered there's also the the Identity Management Buzz blog, which is a great reference source for breaking news about the products.
And now, back to our scheduled programmes.
