"Corbin Links has deep business and technical knowledge of Identity and Access Management (IAM). Given the nature of IAM and how complex it can get, it's crucial to have someone who have a broad vision of it from a high level perspective but at the same time, be able to implement it at a system level. Mr. Links was instrumental in delivering IAM Training to key members of our team, and is highly recommended."

Based on the training I received from Corbin Links I would like to recommend him for training and facilitating of Access Management and all required components. Corbin, with the time constraints, had gave a very good full training of Access Manager and it's components such as Application Server, Access Manager, Identity Manager, Netbeans, and the applications inner workings. He also answered any questions asked and if not known was able to research the question and provide an answer.

Thank you,

Daniel P. Shaw, Senior UNIX Engineer, TekSystems

 

The Identity Management training provided by Mr. Links, president of Links Business Group, was a through treatment of Identity Management and the Sun suite of software products that support an Identity Management deployment. Mr. Links clearly demonstrated his knowledge of the subject matter as well as a detailed understanding of all of the components of the Sun Java Identity Management System. Lab exercises were provided that allowed students to work with the products and develop a solution to a real world business problem. The students of this class were able to return to their jobs and immediately apply what they had learned in this very informative training seminar.

"Corbin Links really has an uncanny ability to extract and clarify the business impact of Identity and Access Management solutions. He is one of our industry’s foremost writers on the topic of real-world IAM technology solutions and has the battle scars to provide real insight into how-to-implement and where to look for pitfalls and obstacles throughout the process."

Matt Flynn, NetVision

 

"Corbin Links is definitely one of the premier experts in the identity world. After years in the industry, you can sift between the individuals who just understand the components of a technology and those who truly understand its value to the business. Corbin not only has technical foresight but understands its relationship to resolving business problems as well. He brings a wealth of experience, insight and professionalism to the table, and is definitely someone you would want in your network."

"Mr. Links' professionalism as seen in his ability to balance the needs of client stakeholders with the time and budget constraints of the project ensured a successful implementation."

"I have worked in the Identity and Access Management space since 1999 and have seen so many books focused on technology.  This is the first book I have read takes a different approach that is based on a more practical angle focusing first on the business process, people, and requirements.  I like how the book has been put together because it is practical, makes sense, and to the point without a lot of fluff.  The book is not bogged down with technical jargon and specific technologies.  It is focused on real world practical experience and being in the field of IAM I can certainly agree with all the information and am going to be leveraging it for my own engagements with clients.”

“I just finished reading Corbin Links' IAM Success Tips, Volume 1 and really think it would be a great resource for any new IdM initiative your organization might be starting. I know that I will try to implement many of the suggestions in the book as we move forward with our project. Many of the "bad" examples in the book -- the things not to do -- brought back some memories for me... I hope that this project at the U of R can avoid many of those common pitfalls. Things like not understanding your current environment, and expecting a vendor's software package to solve all the IdM problems that have grown out of bad business processes.

I look forward to the imminent release of Volume 2 (which, according to this post, is slated for tomorrow!)”
