This talk will introduce a new approach to build and maintain the identity management infrastructure by leveraging the fresh and rising IdM Open Source product named Apache Syncope. This talk will examine what is required of an identity infrastructure today and introduce Apache Syncope specifications, architecture and technicalities.
