If you represent a Sponsor-level member company, and you haven't already sent me a quote, please do so by COB today, so that we have time for printing and shipping hardcopies to the event. Contact me directly if that deadline presents a problem. Regards, Carol Note: The attachment is provided in a format that conforms to the OpenDocument OASIS Standard (ISO/IEC 26300). A plain text version follows. ************************************************* Companies Demonstrate Interoperability of Service Provisioning Mark-up Language (SPML) OASIS Standard BMC, CA, Citrix, Oracle, Sun, and Others Collaborate on Service Provisioning InterOp at Burton Catalyst 06 San Francisco, CA, USA; 14 June 2006 -- Six international companies joined together to demonstrate interoperability of the Service Provisioning Mark-up Language (SPML) version 2.0 at the Burton Catalyst 06 conference in San Francisco today. Developed by the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee, SPML is an approved OASIS Standard that lets companies manage the provisioning and allocation of identity information and system resources within and between organizations. <INSERT BURTON QUOTE> The Catalyst demonstration scenarios involve a group of companies that outsource various services to application service providers (ASPs). Each ASP publishes a SPML interface for provisioning accounts. Each company uses a SPML client that makes provisioning requests to the ASPs as needed. The roles of company and ASP are interchangeable among all seven InterOp participants. "Both provisioning vendors and their customers benefit from the increased standardization that SPML 2.0 offers," said Jeff Bohren of BMC, co-chair of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee and participant in the InterOp. "Today's demonstration showed how smoothly SPML interoperates among products and users, resulting in lower costs and quicker implementations. The range of systems that support SPML is exciting, and demand in the marketplace for SPML support continues to grow." Members of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee include representatives of BEA Systems, BMC Software, CA, Capgemini, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, SOA Software, Sun Microsystems, and others. Participation remains open to all, and suppliers, end-users, and systems integrators are invited to join OASIS to advance the continued development and adoption of SPML. OASIS hosts an open mail list for public comment and the spml-dev mailing list for exchanging information on implementing the standard.
