The Open Group´s "Open Platform 3.0" initiative focuses on the collective business and IT implications of current, disruptive technology developments such as Cloud, Social Media, Enterprise Mobility, Big Data and the Internet of Things (the list is not exhaustive). When several of these technologies are deployed by multiple collaborating enterprises, using products from different suppliers (as is increasingly the case), the need for effective communication and standards is clear. The Open Group has established a new Forum to carry this work forward.
Identity, not merely for access management purposes is clearly going to be a key enabling factor, whilst at the same time obvious issues for privacy and information protection arise. In this presentation we´ll present the Forum´s perspective on the requirements and on how they can be met, but our interest is not merely to provide information. We want to engage domain experts and others with concerns or opinions in discussion about both the available standards and what needs to be developed. This session is therefore intended to be interactive. We hope to gain input from the participants that will contribute to the solution.
