In a recent post, James McGovern makes this comment about a post of mine, called “To Be or Not To Be and Identity Provider?”:
“One should never research the notion of the business model of identity providers from scratch when there are many already in existence. How about starting with Securities Hub to not only understand the business model of being an identity provider but why it matters in an industry vertical context which most identity bloggers pretend don't exist.”
Well, I’ve never said I was researching on this topic – I was just trying to understand the business model …, as I also wrote in a previous post of mine called “What is the Business Case for Identity Providers?”: “I wonder what would be the incentive for an organization to be an Identity Provider (IdP) and, in particular one that just plays this role i.e. with no additional stake in providing other services”.
Anyway, thanks for suggesting an example – even if this example looks like more being about a “Hub-based Service Provider” rather than an “Identity Provider” …
Any other example? In particular where the role of the Identity Provider is clear, whatever underlying federated identity management solution is adopted.
