Keynote: Microsoft IDA & Cloud Direction
Speaker: Tom Winkler (Microsoft)
This session will provide a broad summary of Microsoft Identity and Access product team investments for traditional on-premise workloads and cloud services. We will explain the approach we are taking in the market with our solutions and how they can benefit customers, increase value for customers, help them make the right investments in their infrastructure and build the right capabilities to help them with their business needs.
Learnings from 18 months fo FIM 2010 (not for newcomers to FIM)
Speaker: Hugh Simpson-Wells (OCG)
In this session, designed for those who already have FIM knowledge, Hugh Simpson-Wells will talk about Oxford Computer Group’s FIM experience to date, gathered in many FIM projects. The session will cover both organizational and technical aspects of FIM projects, with the goal of providing those people who are embarking on their own FIM implementation some guidelines and cautionary tales, so that the project can proceed with less risk of delay or other problems, while avoiding design dead-ends and common gotchas. Key areas of discussion are: key success factors for a project; common risks and how to avoid them; and technical design guidelines and gotchas.
Introducing FIM 2010 - An Example Solution
Speaker: Randy Wiemer (OCG)
Designed for those new (or nearly new) to FIM 2010, this session will focus on typical business requirements and the user experience, and will cover: identity and access management principles, where FIM 2010 fits into the overall picture, the solution areas that FIM 2010 addresses, and a substantial demonstration of a proof of concept system. This session will include time for questions and feedback.
Reporting - Why it's important and what it can do for you
Speaker: Hugh Simpson-Wells (OCG)
There are an increasing number of solutions for reporting with FIM 2010 – and no two solutions are alike. What is available, and what will they do for me? We take a number of solutions that are available (or soon to be available) and compare and contrast them. What do they report, what don’t they report – and how do they do it. Where feasible we demonstrate the solutions we are talking about.
Cloudy with a chance of IDA
Speaker: Brjann Brekkan (Microsoft)
Covering strategies around Identity and cloud with claims based access as foundation and pointing to AD FS, ACS, WIF, Azure Connect and a brief discussion about Win 8 investments
Customer case study – what it takes to integrate with a diverse collection of hosted services
Speaker: Randy Wiemer (OCG)
Well will discuss a retail Corporation that has 70,000 employees and a high turnover rate. The vast majority are deskless workers. They have made a strategic decision to outsource a number of IT services including their employee portal, HR functions such as recruitment and hiring, training, and benefits enrollments and some of their email. ADFS is a critical service in this service delivery model.
We will describe the business requirements, the technical solution and the process of adding new services.
Identity and Access for O365
Speaker: Brjann Brekkan (Microsoft)
This session focuses on the different identity options provided in Office 365 and how customers can integrate on-premises AD and enable single sign on using federation. The goal is to provide a primer to the options with some details on synchronization and authentication flows as well as use of strong authentication to access Office 365. We will cover some of the updates that have come out in the last few months including filtering access and multiple domain name support with AD FS.
Demonstration of FIM with OCG O365 MA
Speaker: Hugh Simpson-Wells (OCG)
We will discuss the management agent for O365 which allows our customers to manage and provision O365 using FIM 2010. This provides a more flexible way to provision and manage O365 and can accelerate deployments where the existing environment is more complex and does not suit a simple DirSync approach. User details, roles and entitlements can be taken from one or more on premise directories, this is usually active directory and provisioned into O365 or other cloud applications.

Introduction - Day two
Speaker: Marvin Tansley (OCG)
Speaker introductions and schedule review.
Enterprise Roles and permissions management
Speaker: Jay Schulman (KPMG)
As organizations move data and services to the cloud, the importance of an effective access governance program is paramount to the protection of your organizations data. During this session, KPMG will discuss the importance of an effective access governance program and the impact of fine-grained authorization management on your organizations compliance activities.
FIM Roles - A structured approach
Speaker: Dave Nesbitt (OCG)
As FIM 2010 matured, more and more organizations demanded role management – and solutions varied from simple management using additional MAs, stores and a little code, to full blown RBAC by hooking into ISV products. What improvements does FIM now offer? This presentation explores how FIM can be extended to support role management and role attestation – including the point at which it makes sense to include a third-party product, and how that can be integrated.
BHOLD, FIM, and RBAC - a historical perspective
Speaker: Paul Heiden (BHOLD)
When Microsoft bought the BHOLD Technology it not merely laid hands upon the leading Access Governance Software, it also acquired 14 years of accumulated experience in dealing with users’ access. Paul Heiden- BHOLD’s founder – will explain how BHOLD came to build its technology at the same time introducing you to the implementation methods that this technology serves. The presentation will dive into existing Access Rights Analysis and Cleansing, Role Mining and business driven Role based Access Control, Attestation and Reporting.
Case study – customer presenter - Using FIM with BHOLD
Speakers: Stephen Smith (American State Bank), Donald Cristan (American State Bank), Dave Nesbitt (OCG)
Donald Cristan, VP | IT Information Security Officer, and Stephen Smith, IT Network Engineer of American State Bank (ASB), supported by Dave Nesbitt, OCG Principal Architect, will present their thoughts on the recent deployment of FIM and BHOLD within ASB. OCG worked with ASB to develop and deploy a roles-based provisioning solution with additional Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) elements such as attestation. The solution reads users from the ASB HR system, assigns roles based on the BHOLD role model (developed using BHOLD’s role mining capability) and provisions to AD and iSeries; managers are also able to view and request additional access for their subordinates.
