Our first identity management assessment
Excuse the use of the blog to highlight our own research but I wanted to let any of you out there who are interested in identity management know that the first of our identity management infrastructure assessments - Novell - has just been
published. Here's the summary to whet your appetites:
Novell has exploited its heritage in identity management, based around its proven directory product, to provide a comprehensive portfolio of identity management offerings which address a broad range of identity management requirements, although it is lacking in some important areas. The company, to its credit, has recognised that it has reached this position without a strong architectural foundation and has articulated a clear vision to address this. Novell’s heritage has also enabled it to develop a portfolio of services coupled with best practice advice and guidance that address a broad range of requirements focussed on the deployment of its products, with partners addressing the non-technology aspects of identity management initiatives. Its offerings are a sensible choice for organisations with an existing investment in eDirectory or who are focussing on identity lifecycle management or user-mediated single sign-on.
