Their roles are becoming less about provisioning and managing technology, and more about defining and optimizing end-user experiences," said McKinnon. "Oktane13 will be a great place for attendees to talk about this transition and the increasingly important role of identity management, share best practices with each other, and learn about new ways to extend the Okta platform."
