Over the past couple of months, ebizQ has begun to feature the research and writings of those three IT geniuses over at Macehiter Ward-Dutton. In addition to hosting an MWD Blog on ebizQ and including their research in our analyst corner, we've also been running an editorial series on identity management by Neil Macehiter.

Today we present the final installment of Neil's four-part article, titled "Identity Management End-to End."

Neil recommends developing an identity management architecture as part of broader enterprise architecture and SOA initiatives. He warns that identity management initiatives will be unmanageable and unsustainable without identity management lifecycle processes in place that are well documented and understood by the relevant stakeholders. Neil also talks about the developing standards for identity management technologies, and warns companies not to become too dependent on standards early on, as they are still in the process of development.

If you missed any of the earlier parts of Neil's most excellent analysis, here there are:

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV

Enjoy.
