Speaking at expertDay in Lausanne on the 15th of June

I will be speaking at the LANexpert expertDay conference in Lausanne on the 15th of June. I will be talking about how various products in the Identity spectrum fit together, focusing in particular on how the move to Cloud applications makes local management of users and groups even more critical. I have a neat little demo where I create a [...]

A couple of other IdM products that I saw at TEC

I visited all the sposors at TEC and I particularly wanted to post about two of them as their products fit into the user provisioning and lifecycle sphere. This post is based on short demos and discussions with the company reps, so I can’t claim any knowledge about how well they would scale, or run [...]

My TEC 2010 Highlights

At TEC you really can learn from the best. Some of the speakers may not be the most polished, but at least you know they’re talking from a position of genuine experience. My top three sessions this year were the ones where I felt I learnt the most.

I’m presenting ILM “2″ at expertDay tomorrow – en français

I haven’t had much to post about lately as I’ve been doing a lot of work with Exchange 2003 and Symantec Enterprise Vault (cool product!) – but tomorrow I’ll be briefly back in the ILM world again, presenting at the annual conference of the company I work for. And I’m going to try and do [...]

TEC 2009 – a personal roundup

The US TEC 2009 is now over, and what a great week it’s been. This was the first year that Quest were running the show, and as far as I could tell it was very much business as usual for the conference, with the welcome addition of an Exchange track to the usual Directory and [...]

ILM 2 release date put back – A WHOLE YEAR!

I’m at TEC 2009 in Las Vegas at the moment, and it was officially announced by Microsoft today that the release date for ILM 2 is now Q1 2010, as opposed to the previously publicised date of “any day now”. We should be getting an RC1 version in Q3 this year. I asked if there [...]

TechDays 2009 Geneva

If anyone is in the Geneva area, and has not yet registered for TechDays, I believe there are still some places available: http://www.microsoft.com/switzerland/msdn/fr/techdays/Default.aspx I will be presenting a session on ILM “2″ of course.

TechDays08 Geneva – I’m presenting!

More a blag than a blog today – I’m very happy to have been asked to present a session on ILM at the TechDays event in Geneva this March.  Do come and say hello if you happen to be there too.

DEC 2007 and ILM

I’m just back from the DEC 2007 conference in Brussels. Unfortunately I had to miss the last day, which is a pity as there were some good SQL-related talks on the schedule, but I did get to go to all the ILM talks, as well as picking up a few MIIS pointers, and (most importantly) [...]

I’m going to the European DEC2007!

Thanks to Tomek for letting me know about the DEC2007 conference in Brussels this September. I am now signed up and am geekishly excited about the prospect of spending three days surrounded by fellow MIIS enthustiasts! I am obviously very far gone. I’m also looking forward to being back in Brussels where I lived for three [...]
