Identity Service Virtualization: A Key Trend in IdM

Managing disparate populations and their entitlements across different data silos remains the #1 challenge in identity management. This need to build "multi-tenant services" is on the rise, and enterprises need a way to quickly and easily create and maintain the identities of those communities.
