Today I noticed a link from the bmc.com website to an identity primer of sorts, and found a bunch of information on how to run an identity aware business. Somesh Singh’s podcast is one offering and well worth listening to.
On an introductory level for web identity, I just watched the neatest presentation from OSCON 2005 — Identity 2.0 and how the concept of digital identity is evolving by Dick Hardt, founder and CEO of Sxip Identity.
I don’t mean to gush, but I have never seen a cooler dynamic presentation using screens with such perfect timing between slides (apparently he used Keynote but you could do the same with PowerPoint.) Just watch the first ten minutes or so and you will be amazed. Heck, after just two minutes my husband started watching it over my shoulder.
John Udell, screencaster master, says “I watched it twice, and greatly enjoyed it both times.” It’s hard to describe why it works so well, but he’s using one word per slide or one graphic per slide and a fast pace but the messages and concepts really stick with you. Great educational piece about identity management especially for the web but with lessons we all can learn about how serious identity management is for success with business service management. An enjoyable Friday afternoon break!
