In the fall of 2012, Oracle launched a major upgrade to its IDM portfolio: the 11gR2 release. 11gR2 had four major focus areas:
More simplified and customizable user experience
Support for cloud, mobile, and social applications
Extreme scalability
Clear upgrade path
For SUN migration customers, it is critical to develop and execute a clearly defined plan prior to beginning this process. The plan should include initiation and discovery, assessment and analysis, future state architecture, review and collaboration, and gap analysis.
To help better understand your upgrade choices, SDG, an Oracle partner has developed a series of three whitepapers focused on SUN Identity Manager (SIM) to Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) migration.
In the second of this series on SUN Identity Manager (SIM) to Oracle Identity Manager (OIM) migration, Santosh Kumar Singh from SDG discusses the proper steps that should be taken during the planning-to-post implementation phases to ensure a smooth transition from SIM to OIM.
