VIP to VIDT – Rapid Identity Deployment
Back on September 8, 2005, I blogged about Neogent’s new VIP process and technology for rapid Identity Management system implementation. Now spin the clock forward to February 20. 2007. Sun announced three new service offerings based on that same VIP process/technology. Now called VIDT – Velocity Identity Deployment Tool, this system came to Sun with the acquisition of Neogent in 2006.
It is gratifying to see this technology blossom from an idea in the minds of bright people at Neogent into a system that really works in the real world.
Thanks to my new friend Brian Brannigan, Managing Director of Agreon in Australia, a leading Identity Management implementation firm, who brought the EarthTimes.org article about VIDT to my attention.
