"In terms of the problems being solved, they [Enterprise and Consumer identity management] come together. What happens on the Internet always predominates over what happens inside the enterprise and then moves into the enterprise over time. Look inside the enterprise – we have SAP over here and we have SharePoint over there. As a user, is my identity in SAP or is it in SharePoint? Suppose I'm Kim Cameron and I'm here and I want to take all the people from this list, let's say within SAP, and give them access to my SharePoint site. Today, I have to synchronize list membership and attributes out of SAP and stick them into SharePoint. It becomes very convoluted. What if I could transparently get visitors to go to SAP and pick up a claim that they're on the list and then use that claim in SharePoint? That's the end of the problem. All of the complexity goes away. And what you're solving is really the same thing as I want to use my information from Facebook over at MSN. "
