Keynote Speaker

Jamie Lewis
CEO and Research Chair
Burton Group

 

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.
