This report ID Number G00145438 of 25 January 2007 (copyright precludes me from attaching it) suggests to me that 2007 will be the year in which all the work that the team at PAOGA have been working on during recent years will bear fruit.
Paraphrasing from the report:
- Security and identity management are cited as critical business issues across vertical markets.
- Identity, content and rights, as digital content is exploding, requires robust identity management solutions.
- It's all about the customer . . .
- Pressure rises on risk and IT executives to combat security and fraud . . .
- Retailers . . . will be driven to gain a more customer-centric strategy . . .
- Retailers know that consumers want to interact with them in a variety of formats [Web 2.0]. The possibility of losing contact with good customers becomes more likely if retailers don't make progress with these new technologies.
We need individuals to register so that we achieve critical mass to attract attention in the market.
