One of the IT industry's most respected analysts and consultants,
Jamie Lewis drives and provides strategic direction for Burton Group's
overall research efforts. With over 19 years of experience in the IT industry,
Lewis has both studied and influenced the development of core network
infrastructure technologies. In his five-year tenure at Novell, for example,
Lewis helped educate the market about the emergence of the network operating
system, directory services, and messaging systems.
Lewis continued to focus on these and other core technologies after co-founding
Burton Group in 1990. He has dedicated 14 years to Burton Group, working
as both an analyst and a consultant. During that time, Lewis was instrumental
in defining the concepts relevant to enterprise directories, meta-directories,
access management systems, and other essential components of the emerging
identity and access management infrastructure. More recently, Lewis charted
Burton Group's expansion into Web services and application platforms with
the launch of the Application Platform Strategies service. With Lewis'
reliable guidance, Burton Group continues to monitor the evolution of
these core technologies to support networked business models. Prominent
users and vendors turn to Lewis for his keen insights into the evolution
of these technologies and the markets that drive their development.
Presentation
Enterprise Identity Management: Enabling Business Within and
Between Domains
Identity management (IdM) is a strategic business issue for organizations
in virtually every industry segment. As they open core business processes
to partners, suppliers, customers, and employees, enterprises need IdM
infrastructure to enable security, regulatory compliance, and policy management.
At the same time, identity domains must also be capable of federating with
other domains, both within and between organizations. In both cases, identity
management must be a part of application development and integration architectures
to ensure that the software supporting business processes can leverage
identity-based security services.
Lewis will provide an IdM progress report, discussing current state
and long-term trends. He’ll discuss enterprise
IdM infrastructure and current deployment trends, including business drivers,
product and market developments, and lessons learned. He’ll also
discuss federated identity architectures and trends, including standards,
trust models, and what early adopters are doing. Lewis will discuss
the relationship between identity management and application architecture,
including Web services. Closing with a summary of the recommendations
Burton Group makes for its clients, Lewis will provide an overview
of the identity management space that sets the context for subsequent
presentations and discussions.
