I don\u2019t talk much about my job on here, since A) most people wouldn\u2019t get it, and B) I don\u2019t want to get fired.<\/p>\n
However, Forrester Research<\/a> just released their big report on the sector I work in, \u201cThe Forrester Wave: User Account Provisioning, Q1 2006\u2033, and it\u2019s pretty snazzy for us.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a snippet of the press release<\/a> about the report (you don\u2019t get the report without paying Forrester):<\/p>\n According to the report, \u201cCA has one of the broadest and most integrated set of identity management solutions on the market today. Few vendors have enterprise single sign- on, host access control, and Web services security, and CA stands alone with all three. CA is deeply committed to identity management, both as the lead area in security and as a core element of its overall Enterprise IT Management (EITM) strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n The Forrester report concluded that \u201cCA delivers strong auditing and administration atop a robust architecture. CA is best suited for companies seeking a robust, fully functional product.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Not bad, eh? CA Identity Manager<\/a> is the product I work on, indeed the product I am the software architect for. (Remember that bit about \u201crobust architecture\u201d? \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n Even better than the report though, is the market response. It\u2019s pretty cool when you build something people want to pay for. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t talk much about my job on here, since A) most people wouldn\u2019t get it, and B) I don\u2019t want to get fired.
