Product Description
In this comprehensive work, Dr. Pohlman leverages his experience as both a corporate board member and corporate governance solution implementer to provide a mechanism for promoting corporate accountability and stewardship of personally identifiable information within daily business operations. This guidebook enables both the implementer and the corporate board member to select, configure, and audit the flow of user information throughout the business, aligning the information flow with local laws and regulations. Prior to this effort, Dr. Pohlman co-authored the Oracle Unified Method, an iterative and incremental development process framework developed by Oracle. Extending the work a step further, he aligns the deployment of identity management systems with multinational legal mandates and IT governance frameworks to create a roadmap for achieving successful implementation in the area of Identity Management and Governance, Risk & Compliance.

 Excellent Comment,....Buy the Third Edition February 27, 2008

Thanks for your comment. Your points were exactly the rational for the Third Edition. The constraints imposed by the publisher along with the lack of proper formatting really discouraged my efforts and forced me to seek out another publisher.
 Spoilt by Very Poor Production Values January 19, 2008

This could have been a really good book. It covers all the key topics of Identity Management in detail with a good balance of theory, installation and programming examples, however its poor production quality results in it being a major disappointment.
The book has been reduced to a more compact and thicker version than the original publication and as such it suffers from being difficult to read. As a reader your attention is continually distracted by the poor layout and images that have been shrunk to sizes that are totally incomprehensible - with some not providing one skerrick of detail. This matters because many of the figures are referred to at the expense of more detail in the text. So rendering the images illegible makes for an extremely frustrating attempt to comprehend the point the author is making. This book as a result is just too distracting and frustrating to be an enjoyable read. It is bewildering in some cases to fathom why some figures (for example figures 5.4 and 5.5 on page 90) are reduced to a very small size, and put alongside each other resulting in almost a third of the page blank. A little effort and attention to detail could have rendered these images legible, by simply asigning half the page to each diagram. Worse still, there is one page with 6 diagrams! In this case each of the diagrams would normally have qualified for either a full or at least half a page, but are crammed onto one page. Bizarrely you can come across a single diagram, compressed and incomprehensible, jammed into the top of a single page with around two thirds of the rest of the page being blank!
I suppose what is baffling is how a corporation such as Oracle can put its name to such poor quality material, and even more baffling how the author was able to accept such a demeaning representation of his intellectual effort. It is not acceptable for the author to lament, as he does in the introduction:
"Due to constraints imposed by the publisher in several cases throughout the text images are collaged into Figure pages. Graphics are also required by the publisher to be printed gray scale. I apologise in advance for any inconvenience and hope the subject matter compensates for the amnner in which it is delivered."
Well, an apology is not really enough - and the statement that there are "several cases", is just not true - just about every figure throughout the book has been rendered to a small grainy size and it just so happens only some are readable, and those are mainly those that comprise straight lines, and simple boxes - and they are few and far between. I don't believe the author should have accepted these constraints - and I would be surprised if he was proud of this effort.
Certainly buy the book if you have a deep interest in Identity Management as there is good information within the book, but only do so if you truly believe that you can tolerate a book's poor quality and contempt for the reader's involvement.
