SAP wants to go Idenity Management

hear, hear, ... SAP likes to join the IDM vendor league by acquiring MaXware.

This is only interesting insofar as

• SAP is a bit late to the game
• they did not really acquire a player in the IDM space (as e.g. Sun did when they bought Waveset, and others).
• If they still pursue their monolithic approach, then good luck with Identity Management, it just wont work that way...
