A Few More Snappy IdM One-Liners...

In response to my request for snappy one-liners that would be applicable for identity projects, Jeff Bohren and Mike Conklin (welcome to the blogosphere, Mike!) provided some input. Here are some of my favorites:

  • The dirty little secret about provisioning is that it’s really all about deprovisioning.
  • You shouldn’t start out trying to do account management by adding another account to manage.
  • It doesn't matter what you do on the back-end -- if the end users (and project sponsors) can't see tangible results that affect their day-to-day activities, all the process re-engineering and data clean-up in the world is going to go unnoticed and unappreciated.
  • For whatever reason, hearing the exact same thing come from an outside consultant actually sinks in with management, but this never seems to happen for internal people :)
Seems like fun so far... so, I'm tagging Matt F., Matt P., Azeem Khan, Mike Trachta, Ian Yip and Jackson Shaw (just to throw a little product in the mix) to contribute their wit to the conversation.
