Conversation with Jonathan Edwards from SecureITSource about how organizations can look to monetize their Identity and Access Management deployments. Historically the identity industry has taken the "insurance" route when it comes to selling and maintaining identity solutions. Jonathan and I discuss ways in which we can start to think about identity differently, and how it can become a revenue generator for your business. This episode was sponsored by SecureITSource.
