This was a webinar I (almost due to technical difficulties) gave this week as part
of MISA Ontario’s Webinar series.

In it I cover a philosophy that allows you to reduce cost, increase security, and
increase user engagement and satisfaction. All 3 at once. Sounds crazy?

First I will convince you that:

**In 2020, I will**
Work on the **device of my choice**At the **location of my choice****
Without** $*@#$ **VPN** and passwordAs a **first class** citizen**regardless of 
my employment status**

Then I will convince you that Identity Management is a single system, not distributed,
and, that Authorisation is separate.

Next I will convince you that Ding Dong, the VPN is dead!

I’ll then show you how you can make each user (regardless of how you are affiliated
with them: contractor, temp, citizen, …) able to directly use each application (
HR, training, recreation booking, library hours, …) without a VPN, without cost,
without complaint.

Don’t believe me? Change my mind! Video below, please feel free to subscribe to

the ugly.
