Mike Neuenschwander Joins Mycroft as General Manager, Strategy Practice

Former Burton Group executive is renowned for IAM thought
leadership
NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--In a move involving one of the country's foremost thought leaders
in Identity and Access Management (IAM), former Burton Group Vice
President and Research Director, Mike Neuenschwander, has joined
Mycroft Inc. as General Manager, Strategy Practice.

A popular speaker, writer and blogger, Neuenschwander is widely
known and respected throughout the IAM industry for his leading-edge
research and consultative insight. Market-leading software firms,
including Microsoft, Oracle and Sun, often rely on his input to set
strategic direction, as do many other of the world's largest
companies.

Among his numerous accomplishments, Neuenschwander has received
considerable attention for his work on next-generation identity
services such as "limited liability persona" (LLP), and for his
pioneering use of XML and middleware in directories. He has served as
a frequent keynote speaker at the Burton Group's annual Catalyst
Conference for enterprise IT leaders.

"Mike Neuenschwander represents one of the most sought-after
talents in the world of identity and access management," says Terry
Jost, Chief Executive Officer for Mycroft. "His ability to both
envision and help shape the future of end-to-end IAM solutions will
prove invaluable to Mycroft and our clients. He immediately expands
Mycroft's already-broad IAM strategic services."

Neuenschwander's decision to join Mycroft is rooted in what he
sees as the evolving - and essential - role implementers play in
successful IAM projects.

"All of my experience has made me realize just how critical it is
for companies to partner with a skilled implementation firm in order
to achieve their identity management goals," says Neuenschwander. "By
joining Mycroft, I'm ideally situated to participate in, and
influence, that part of the process."

Neuenschwander will continue to write his popular blog, which will
soon be accessible through Mycroft's website, at www.Mycroftinc.com.
