Inventing new technologies and standards without sustained vendor certification testing is a recipe for slow and painful adoption of identity standards. Certification of interoperability of vendor implementations is critical to easing deployments in the real world. As such, Kantara Initiative has a goal of working collaboratively to solve harmonization and interoperability challenges among identity-enabled enterprise, Web 2.0 and Web-based applications and services. Our agile testing and certification program will help effectively accelerate adoption of new technologies and standards, helping deployers to deploy with confidence, success and minimal time and cost, and vendors to incorporate standards effectively and interoperability into their offerings.
