This study predicts that identity and access management (IAM) market growth will move from primarily large-scale enterprise adoption into the small and medium-sized business (SMB) sector over the next 12-24 months. According to Sally Hudson, research director, Identity and Access Management at IDC, "This is due to several factors, primary among them the packaging and delivery of IAM solutions from leading vendors targeted specifically at the SMB market. Application-centric approaches to IAM (where functionality such as provisioning and secure single sign-on can be deployed as part of the application middleware platform) are proving appealing to SMB shops, as demonstrated in the Silicon Image profile."

Companies Mentioned: Silicon Image; Oracle Corp.
