Hello, from your new contributor... New things in store.

I'm happy to have been invited to contribute to the Directory Services Blog.  In my blog "Digital Avenger, I have written a few articles from my point of view on subjects including Identity Management.  In the upcoming months I expect to contribute some of my thoughts here on some of the Identity Management strategies and methodologies that I hope help educate and challenge your views of Identity Management.  I'll be the first to admit, I'm not the nuts and bolts guy.  That would be Bill Brant, CEO of Directory Services whom I've been working closely with over the years.  I'm the big picture guy, and at the end of it all, I'll do my best to be honest and forthcoming.

I'd like to leave you with a taster.  Bill and I have been working on some new tool sets and methodologies for Identity Management and integration by leveraging a product authored by Bill that will add flexibility and agility to your Identity implementation, while bringing existing licensing costs down.  The foundation Open Source product has been in use for years in some very large companies all over the world, but we are expanding the focus and scope to solve several business processes over several market segments.  Our simplest goals are always to fulfill at least one of the following, and hopefully all:  1. Reduce Costs 2. Increase Productivity 3. Minimize Risk.

To keep informed, please subscribe.  We are looking for Case Study Organizations and Early Adopters.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you.  Take care, and I hope you enjoy.
