Microsoft Enterprise ISV News Update
Dear Partners,
Welcome to another edition of the Enterprise ISV News Update.
This time I'm especially excited to announce a partnership between IdeaBlade
and Microsoft. Under this initiative IdeaBlade will make DevForce
Enterprise available to members of this community at no cost. This is a
$5,400 value that you qualify for just by being profiled in the
solution catalogue of Microsoft partner solutions for either SAP
or Oracle.
Read more about this amazing offer here.
Also, make a note of this date: November 28. That is when we'll host
our OBA workshop specifically for SAP and Oracle partners. It will be a
hands-on workshop hosted in Redmond, WA. More details to come, but to
secure your seat send
me a note at this time, and we'll hold a spot for you.
Best regards,
Stig Panduro
Senior Marketing Manager, Microsoft Corporation

IPED research shows that
Microsoft collaboration-solution providers see larger, more numerous
opportunities, faster growth, and up to 25-percent greater profit than
competing providers who sell open-source products. And because
Microsoft collaboration tools are preintegrated, building a
collaboration-solutions business around Microsoft SharePoint-based
solutions can cost up to 2.5 times less than with separate open-source
products. To learn more, take a look at the full
report.

Single Sign-On (SSO) becomes
more and more crucial for today's complex IT landscape driven by the
ever-increasing request to integrate existing systems to support
cross-organizational business processes. To enforce a consistent
authentication policy throughout the enterprise and to offer a
simplified and homogeneous sign-on experience for enterprise users,
Microsoft and SAP provide a set of technologies to unleash the power of
SSO for enterprises. This new white paper reviews the technologies for
authentication as well as Single Sign-On within the Microsoft/SAP
context and outlines their usage in enterprise scenarios.
