* Raymond James Financials shares ID mgmt. deployment experiences
This week I’m at Digital ID World in Santa Clara. Perhaps I saw you at Monday’s Virtual Directory User Meeting, or perhaps you were at the fascinating panel discussion we had about “The Convergence of Physical and Logical Identity Management.” Or maybe you weren’t able to make the conference at all.
If you couldn’t make it to Santa Clara, perhaps you had the chance to see at least one of the presentations online – and not a replay, either.
Shawn Ellis, director of information security at Raymond James Financial, is presenting a session called “Identity Management: A Financial Services Deployment Story.” It’s a look at how one company struggled with the financial and time investments of implementing complex role-based provisioning systems and the long project schedules that take forever to return any value. It’s also the story of how the company overcame the problems through a combination of innovative processes and technologies. This is something that’s relevant, I think, to most of you and the nice people at identity management vendor MaXware want a wider audience to see and hear the story Ellis has to tell.
To that end, MaXware is sponsoring a Webinar on Wednesday, Sept. 20, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. EDT (that’s 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. UTC) featuring Ellis talking out “The Keys to Successful Identity Management Deployments.” The company claims that the Webinar will show you how to:
* Use identity management software for more than protecting electronic and corporate assets but to enhance business productivity.
* Gain immediate ROI from identity management initiatives.
* Address compliance and audit requirements.
* Evaluate and select the right vendor for your identity management needs.
But, if that isn’t enough incentive, MaXware will also give you a chance to win $500 in American Express checks by simply attending the Webinar – information you can use AND a chance at 500 bucks – not a bad way to spend an hour. You’ll need to register so you might want to do that right now.
