"An IAM suite requires extranet access management and user provisioning
as the two main engines for performing security administration
activities. Using a virtual directory can ease the pains of the user
provisioning implementation. Linking all of these capabilities to the
human resources application, which ultimately could manage both internal
employees and the contingent workforce, is a powerful combination."
—Roberta J. Witty, Research Vice President, Gartner, Inc.
"Oracle has an advantage and early lead with its top down application
strategy that is aligned with customer needs."
—Chris Christiansen, IDC's VP of Security Products and Services
"Oracle's acquisition of Thor and OctetString is a good move. These acquisitions coupled with Oracle's
unique application top down approach to Identity Management will send
ripples through the industry."
—Mike Neuenschwander, Vice President and Research Director, Burton Group
