Evolution of Identity Management

Jon Oltsik, in his blog post, “Redux in the Identity Management Market”, provides a concise and interesting account of the evolution of Identity Management, from initial start-ups, consolidation by large corporations and back again to start-ups, in some “hot” areas (such as governance, role management, network-based Identity Management, etc.).

Interestingly, he does not mention potential future evolutions of Identity Management in two areas: “Identity as a Service” and Identity Management for (Enterprise) Web 2.0.

He predicts more M&As and specializations in the Identity Management space in the months to come.
