Think like an MVP in Life

MVPs are hungry for success but put the team ahead of personal glory.

MVPs demand excellence from themselves and build their teammates.

MVPs are constantly leading by example and helping others

What makes an Identity Management Professional?

,

To me the most successful Identity Management Professionals are able to bring Database skills, Programming skills and System Administration skills, because we access databases and use them, we customize the software with programming, and we often setup the services and administer them.

For example before I started in Identity, I was an MCSE (shows system admin skills), MSCD (programming skills), MCDBA (database skills). Today, I was reviewing BYU Idaho’s online programs, and I could see people who do these four certificates as ready to launch and learn a variety of Identity Management tools.

  1. Computer Support

  2. System Administration (Computer Support is a pre-req)

  3. Database

  4. Computer Programming

While the curriculum is a little light on Microsoft Technology the concepts are solid. I like it!
