The solution has two agents so should combine its enterprise application and security access into one agent. It is more comfortable for users if they don't have to install two agents.

We need another approach to bring the solution to the cloud. In addition to Access Management, we would like to see if we can jump into Directories. I think ADs are going to go away and everything is going to be cloud-based and minimize the use of ADs because of the cost and some other dependencies to the cloud. Every time you buy AD it is more hardware, and everything's changing to software. The network's changing, the applications are changing, and for IT it is hard to keep up with it. We have to have a solution towards as-a-service instead of buying more hardware and software licenses. There is culture and cost models change. If you provide enterprise services we have to stop telling the customers it's going to be perusers or the transactions. That's not good for the customers, It's good for the vendors. It's good, they're making money, but at the same time, you're pulling away from your customers. The more you keep having cost increases, the customer's going to look for another cheaper solution.
When protecting your data in the cloud, you can’t just rely on the expectation that the data centers that store your company’s information and records will protect you on their own, even though they offer a high level of security.

The technical enablement sessions are quite limited, and Akamai could help by providing more of them.
