PointBlue was recently responsible for the architecture, planning, and execution of a massive NetIQ Access Manager upgrade. The system is used to control access to the business critical systems used by 240,000 employees at a large retailer. Needless to say, any downtime would have been expensive! The project took over nine months and required testing hundreds of protected and federated applications. The upgrade was a great success and we were able to give a presentation about how it was done at NetIQ’s Brainshare technical conference.
