Today, companies leverage user identity information to deliver IT resources securely. In the future, identity information will transform this model to the management of all of IT resources, including open source platforms and applications. Systems and applications will become service-enabled and identity-aware, so they can be adapted and reconfigured instantly to meet the needs of the people using them. This identity-based computing paradigm adds intelligence to every part of the IT infrastructure to make enterprises more agile, more secure and more open.
Jack Messman's address will focus on an emerging computing model where systems adapt to the way a business functions-and where the power of identity services extend to every business asset-including users, devices, servers, desktops, data, and applications. A computing model that delivers a comprehensive approach to security, management and integration across the network, helping companies introduce and leverage the power of open source in innovative ways. It will also highlight how Novell has tapped the power of identity services to accelerate its internal adoption of Linux, both in the data center and the desktop.

For the adoption of open source by enterprise IT to reach the next level, two requirements must be fulfilled. First, enterprise IT needs open source vendors with the proven ability to deliver enterprise-class solutions. Second, they need to know that they can manage their open source assets in a common manner with the multiple generations of
technology already present in their heterogeneous enterprise environments. How will these two objectives be met? How can commercial enterprise software vendors cope with the tension between the need to maintain competitive advantage and the need to foster open innovation? And how can open source technology become a "good citizen" in the melting pot of today's enterprise?
John Swainson will explain how enterprises can overcome these challenges and outline CA's strategy for open source on the desktop and server.

The disruption that open source software has unleashed upon the technology world has brought out powerful emotions and opinions about its impact on the software industry. Not surprisingly, the feelings you express (or suppress) depend greatly on where you work, and what you do.
Marten Mickos will explore how the popularity of Linux has started transferring power away from the traditional technology vendors into the hands of IT managers and programmers. He will address several questions with real-world examples: Has software become a commodity like a pork belly or a microwave oven? How can vendors prosper while customers save so much money? Is "profit" a dirty word? The answers, as well as the ultimate impact of the "open source revolution" on the value of software lies in the age-old credo -- "The Customer is King".
