A second enterprise roles management company has been acquired. Sun has announced intent to buy Vaau. Congrats to Sachin, Steve Tiches, and the rest of the gang at Vaau. You are definitely joining a great team.
It will interesting to see how fast Sun can tie Vaau’s various components to their existing suite. I have to imagine that what was Identity Auditor, now part of Identity Manager, will be replaced entirely by Vaau’s identity audit capability. Comparing Sun’s time to integrate Vaau to Oracle’s time to integrate Bridgestream ought to be interesting as well.
That sounds like a challenge. Are you daring us?

Dare is such a strong word. 😉
Since I don’t believe that ERM is an end in and of itself, I am more curious where the market and technology will go now that two “suite” vendors have made acquisitions. If, by orchestrating some sort of challenge between Oracle and Sun to integrate and innovate, I can help move things along, then yes, by all means, consider it a challenge. Maybe the gang at Burton Group can referee this?
