I don’t talk much about my job on here, since A) most people wouldn’t get it, and B) I don’t want to get fired.
However, Forrester Research just released their big report on the sector I work in, “The Forrester Wave: User Account Provisioning, Q1 2006″, and it’s pretty snazzy for us.
Here’s a snippet of the press release about the report (you don’t get the report without paying Forrester):
According to the report, “CA 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.”
The Forrester report concluded that “CA delivers strong auditing and administration atop a robust architecture. CA is best suited for companies seeking a robust, fully functional product.”
Not bad, eh? CA Identity Manager is the product I work on, indeed the product I am the software architect for. (Remember that bit about “robust architecture”? 🙂 )
Even better than the report though, is the market response. It’s pretty cool when you build something people want to pay for.
