The document discusses the importance of identity management in modern computing environments. It argues that identity should serve as the foundation for securing access across devices, applications, and cloud-based services. With identity as the core, enterprises can better balance flexibility, compliance, and security when resources are distributed across different systems. The identity-infused enterprise model allows organizations to leverage existing identity investments to enhance control, visibility, and compliance across hybrid computing environments.

The risks and challenges of computing across
multiple environments must be controlled.
Users should have unimpeded access to the
full computing services they need to do their
jobs right.
Computing should be secure, compliant
and portable.
