"product doesn't matter"
I sat on a federation vendor panel in Munich a few weeks back, and following my comments to the audience about Ping's focus on building simple products that speed time-to-connect with partners, one gentleman who represented one of the suite vendors actually said,
"... I don't think product or 3 days or 5 days to production really matter to customers..."
I'm not exaggerating, he actually said that! Of course, our 215 customers and counting beg to differ.
SSO Summit Agenda & Discussions
We've finalized a great list of speakers and case-studies for this years SSO Summit,
taking place in Keystone CO on July and 25th. Case Studies on
everything from ESSO to Federated SSO will be presented by the likes of
General Motors, Chrysler, Deloitte, Rearden Commerce, Prudential Insurance, Wyeth and 3M. In 30 minutes, each case study will cover project scope, business drivers, problems addressed, hurdles surmounted, what worked and didn't and lessons learned.
While the perspectives and case studies will no doubt be very good, I'm really looking forward to the open discussions, where we'll tackle:
- Single Sign-On, Reduced Sign-On, Simplified Sign-On, Zero Sign-On – which is right for you?
- Describing the business value of your SSO initiatives to the CIO
- What’s next for Web Access Management SSO?
- Kerberos everywhere – true statement?
- What’s the ‘holy grail’ for Enterprise SSO – we‘ve been trying for 20 years!
- SSO for Web services?
- Single Sign-On’s role in Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
- PKI or Federation -- which is right for me?
- SSO for non-browser clients – PDA’s, RIA’s, Phones
- Leveraging NAC Authentication for Single Sign-On to Apps
- Where do OpenID and InfoCards fit?
- SSO for partners and customers – why bother?
- Enterprise 2.0 and the Web 2.0 mash-up – how do we do SSO for these?
- What is Oauth and where does it fit into your web services SSO initiatives.
- The role of claims and the security token server in web services SSO
