Accelerate Without Fear: Identity Management Helps Business Gear Up

Overview Businesses have much to gain from the emerging force known as the Participation Age, where people interact with each other online as never before. This is the result of advances in Internet technology, global availability of networked communication, and an explosion of access devices. This unprecedented embrace of network-based participation requires ubiquitous access, where user identity is an essential enabler. Participation, after all, requires trust. And trust requires identity: It creates an undeniable and urgent need for businesses and individuals to know who is on the other end of their transactions and trust those entities, confident that the information they share is safe. Because identity management holds the answers to these needs, it is a key enabler of the Participation Age.
