Optimal IdM Signs On As A Gold Sponsor Of The Experts Conference (TEC 2011)

Jan. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- LAND O’LAKES, FL –  Optimal IdM, LLC, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, today announced that they will sponsor The Experts Conference (TEC 2011) http://www.theexpertsconference.com/us/2011/ . It is the tenth year of the TEC show and Optimal IdM has sponsored the show for the last three years. This year, Optimal IdM signs on as a Gold sponsor and one of its managing partners, Michael Brengs, has again been selected to present at the conference.

At the upcoming conference, Optimal IdM will showcase its world class software solutions and will highlight new use cases for its technology. Optimal IdM will be demonstrating the latest release of its flagship product, the Virtual Identity Server™ (VIS) ™, which is the world’s fastest and most comprehensive .NET LDAP virtual directory.  VIS presents a single joined real-time view of multiple data stores such as multiple Active Directory forests, other LDAP directories and even databases. Demonstrations and one-on-one meetings will be provided at the show upon request.  

Larry Aucoin, a managing partner at Optimal IdM adds, “At the TEC shows in the past, we have made so many wonderful contacts but find often we did not have an opportunity to really drill down and discuss attendee’s specific enterprise challenges. This year, we are making it a priority to carve out time to schedule some one-on-one meetings during the conference”.  To schedule a private meeting during the conference, please contact a representative at sales@optimalidm.com.

In his session at the upcoming TEC show, Michael Brengs, a recognized speaker at conferences worldwide, will tackle the often confusing issue of determining when to synchronize, when to virtualize and when to federate.  Selecting the best solution is a common and difficult problem facing many enterprise organizations.  Michael’s session will describe the key architectural components in an overall identity management implementation and when it is appropriate to deploy a given technology or set of technologies.

Michael Brengs adds, “For example, when should you use a directory, directory synchronization, LDAP virtual directories or Federation? Over time, the industry has seen that one technology shouldn’t be used to solve all problems. Analyst firms such as Gartner have written reports on how on the surface these technologies may seem to compete, but instead complement each other well. Often, the right answer is implementing a mixture of technologies together. Each technology solves a unique problem.  Combining these technologies into a complete solution is the key to a successful identity management initiative”. He will also delve into some examples of where customers have implemented a blend of these technologies to drive down costs and complexities in their environments. More information on his session date and time will be provided as the show draws nearer.
