The “Identity Explosion” is one of the challenges organizations are facing today. It is not only about some thousand, tens of thousands, or a few hundred thousand employees anymore. It is about dealing with an ever-changing landscape of business partners and potentially millions of customers. It is about support new business models and partner landscapes in a flexible way. But not only that, there are new challenges in supporting mobile devices and new deployment models for IT services – Cloud Computing. All this is about managing access for all types of users, all devices, and all deployment models in a consistent way. It is about the ABC: The “Agile Business – Connected”. Solving this connectivity for the connected/extended enterprise is at the key of the discussions in this roundtable. Following a short initial presentation with some thesis on that, the panelists and the audience will have the opportunity to discuss their challenges and look for solutions, with the advice of all the KuppingerCole analysts and the industry experts in the room.
