ForgeRock Identity Live, Austin TX

A few weeks ago, ForgeRock organised the first Identity Live event of the season, in Austin TX.

With more than 300 registered guests, an impeccable organisation by our Marketing team, the event was a great success.

The first day was sales oriented, with company presentations, roadmaps, products’ demonstrations but also testimony from existing customers. The second day was focusing on the technical side of the ForgeRock solutions, in an unconference format, where Product Managers, Technical Consultants et Engineers shared with the audience their experience, their knowledge.

It was great to meet again so many colleagues, partners, customers; to have lively conversations about the products, the projects and the overall directions of the Identity technology.

You can find more photos of the event in the dedicated album.

ForgeRock SKO in Las Vegas

Last week, ForgeRock ran its annual Sales and Marketing Kick Off on the shores of Lake Las Vegas. It was great week for all of us, getting prepared for 2020. Looking forward to great things again this year!

And I feel really proud and grateful to be part of such an amazing Product Management team.

ForgeRock Identity Day Paris (2019)

Jeudi 21 Novembre, c’est tenu à Paris le ForgeRock Identity Day, une demi journée d’information sur notre société et nos produits, destinée à nos clients, prospects et partenaires.

Animé par Christophe Badot, VP de la Région France, Benelux, Europe du Sud, cet événement a commencé par une présentation de Alexander Laurie, VP Global Solution Architecture, sur les tendances du marché et la vision de ForgeRock, en Français avec un bel accent Anglais.

Nous avons eu des témoignages de nos clients: CNP Assurance, GRDF et l’Alliance Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi. Merci à eux d’avoir partagé leurs besoins et la solution apportée par ForgeRock.

Léonard Moustacchis et Stéphane Orluc, Solutions Architects chez ForgeRock, ont fait une démonstration en direct de la force de la Plateforme d’Identité de ForgeRock, à travers une application bancaire web et mobile. Et j’ai eu l’honneur de clore la journée avec une présentation de la roadmap produits, et surtout du ForgeRock Identity Cloud, notre offre SaaS disponible depuis la fin Octobre.

Cette après-midi s’est terminée sur un cocktail qui nous a permis de discuter plus en détail avec les participants. Toutes les photos de l’événement sont visible dans l’album sur mon compte Flickr.


And now the English shorter version:

On Thursday November 21st, we hosted ForgeRock Identity Day in Paris, a half day event for our customers, prospect customers and partners. We presented our vision of the identity landscape, our products and the roadmap. And three of our French customers : CNP Assurances, GRDF, Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, presented how ForgeRock has helped them with their digital transformation and identity needs. My colleagues from the Solutions Architect team ran a live demo of our web and mobile sample banking applications, to illustrate the power of the ForgeRock Identity Platform. And I closed the day with a presentation of the product roadmap and especially of ForgeRock Identity Cloud, our solution as a service. As usual, all my photos are visible in this public Flickr album.

Identity Live London is over, Paris is next…

It’s been a couple of intense days in London with over 200 attendees at the London stop of the ForgeRock Identity Live world tour.

Untitled

In London, we’ve had 3 important customers that explained how they are innovating with the help of digital identities, each of them providing online services to over 30 millions users: The BBC, Maerks and Pearson. And we’ve had 3 major UK banks that joined a panel to discuss OpenBanking and APIs in the banking industry. I have particularly enjoyed the well mastered presentations by Bianca Lopes about the data that we leave online and that ties back to our identity, and by Spencer Kelly, technology presenter of the BBC show “Click”.

UntitledToday, we had our “unConference” day, where the engineering team is joining the product management one and discuss with our customers and partners on how to leverage the newest features of the ForgeRock Identity Platform, whether already released or soon to be.

My photos of the Identity Live London are now publicly visible here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ludovicpoitou/albums/72157701508676261

And now, on to the next and last stop for 2018: Paris, November 13 and 14. Register and join us!

Open Provisioning ToolKit phoenix moment

OpenPTKI’m sitting in training this week with our Solution Architects team and was talking to my long time colleague Scott Fehrman about a customer I recently met and a mention of the Open Provisioning ToolKit (OpenPTK) in one of the slides. OpenPTK is an open source project that Scott, Terry Sigle and Derrick Harcey founded at Sun Microsystems some years ago.

As we’re talking Scott realized that the website that hosted OpenPTK source code, issues and downloads (java.net) is gone. As he had a copy of the latest version, he put it back online on his github account.

If anyone is using OpenPTK and would like to get the code, or even better work on it, it has raised from the hashes and is now publicly available:

This is also the first identity management solution to fully implement the User-Managed Access (UMA) standard, making it possible for organizations to address expanding privacy regulations and establish trusted digital relationships.
