DETROIT, July 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Covisint, a Compuware (Nasdaq:CPWR) company, today announced that its Chief Security Officer, Dave Miller, will present “Implementing Identity Management in the Cloud: Lessons Learned” at the Cloud Identity Summit in Keystone, Colo.
Miller will point out how, with some 50 billion devices expected online by 2020, organizations need to embrace this dramatic shift and proactively manage enterprise cloud identities. He not only will show how organizations that ignore this advice do so at their own peril, but also will demonstrate patterns of cloud success Covisint has achieved in managing identities for extended workforces for more than a decade and across multiple industries.
Specifically, Miller will:
— give attendees secrets to managing successful IdM cloud implementations in a business context;
— provide real-life case studies from manufacturing, healthcare, travel and oil & gas–showing how identities are most effectively managed through cloud-based implementations vs. traditional methods;
— explain how cloud-based identity management can ensure implementation success through activity tracking and monitoring; and,
— discuss financial and managerial issues, offering tips on communicating the value of cloud-based identity management to executives.
“Covisint’s success with and experience in cloud identity management is not only well-documented, but also validated by major analyst firms who consistently call us ‘pioneers,'” said Dave Miller, Covisint Chief Security Officer. “Attendees will benefit from Covisint’s experience in providing secure access to information and applications across extended workforces in multiple industries, and they will learn how to confidently, quantitatively and accurately articulate this value to executives.”
