1 Brochure More information from Decision Matrix: Selecting an Identity & Access Management Vendor (Competitor Focus) Description: Introduction As the focus of enterprise security moves from the perimeter and towards identity-centric and informationcentric security, ID&AM will become a strategic issue in a wide variety of settings. Datamonitor has developed this Decision Matrix to help businesses select the most appropriate ID&AM vendors based on their technology strength, reputation among customers, and impact in the market. Scope - Provides an overview of the most important trends affecting the Identity & Access Management market and influencing its competitive dynamics. - Delivers an overall comparison of Identity & Access Management vendors in terms of their technology, user sentiment and market impact. - Presents a detailed view of each vendors Identity and Access Management offering, as well as providing advice on the suitability of these offerings. - Vendors covered include: BMC, CA, Evidian (Bull), IBM, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, RSA Security (EMC) and Sun Microsystems. Highlights In terms of revenue growth, Oracle achieves the maximum score as it continues to attract new customers and increase its market share. Datamonitor believes Oracles success is due to its efficient utilization of its extensive partner network and the prevalence of its application and middleware infrastructure among enterprises of all sizes. n terms of technology, BMC is particularly strong in the areas of user provisioning and administration and policy management. This is to be expected, since those two areas are the closest to BMCs core strengths in IT systems management and desktop management. Some vendors, such as IBM, CA, and BMC are acutely aware of the potential for integration between ID&AM and service management and this is likely to affect their strategy. Novell is also likely to evolve its solutions in this direction as it develops its capabilities around systems and service management.
