Ultimately, TruLogica software will reduce the policy-based tasks from days
to hours.
One industry analyst, Jason Bloomberg of XML and Web services research firm
ZapThink, discussed the buy.
"HP is leveraging several open standards, including management standards
that HP has been championing, as well as integrating TruLogica with their
recent SelectAccess and Talking Blocks acquisitions to offer an end-to-end
identity and access management solution to enterprises who are building
Service-Oriented Architectures, (define)" Bloomberg told

The purchase would be the latest piece of the larger computing strategy pie
HP has been regularly filling in the last several months. Just last month,
HP moved to purchase Novadigm and Consera Software to beef up its automation capabilities.
In 2003, HP acquired Persist Technologies for information lifecycle
management, Talking Blocks for Web services management and Baltimore
Technologies' Select Access business for federated identity management.
