Hello. I’m curious as to the status of the NetIQ IDaaS offering. Apart from the documentation on the website (below), I cannot find any reference to availability, software or pricing. Is this product available at all or has it been shelved?

I’ve never heard of it. I don’t see it on the product list nor on the lifecycle list. However, I did find reference to it as part of the Cloud Services Provider Program: [https://www.netiq.com/industries/cloud-services-provider/](https://www.netiq.com/industries/cloud-services-provider/) (you can find it on that page). I also found this old BrainShare PDF presentation about it: [https://goo.gl/xLwO57](https://goo.gl/xLwO57) (downloads the PDF). – Kim - 10/17/2016 1:50:25 PM ---

Hi Kim. I was at the BrainShare launch in 2014 and there was certainly a bit of noise about it back then, and they seem to have kept the product alive in some capacity (a patch update in the doc last month) but yes no reference to it anywhere. Interestingly I had a look at that Cloud services program page before posting this thread and emailed the contact address and it bounced, so… ## – ddnicholls ddnicholls’s Profile: [https://forums.netiq.com/member.php?userid=5644](https://forums.netiq.com/member.php?userid=5644) View this thread: [https://forums.netiq.com/showthread.php?t=56715](https://forums.netiq.com/showthread.php?t=56715) ---

I’ll see if I can find anyone internally that knows about it. I’ll also have someone look at that email address that bounces. Thanks for the report on that. – Kim - 10/18/2016 8:07:45 AM ---

I finally got hold of someone that knows something about the offering. Here’s what he told me:[color=blue] > we are only launching 3 IAS offerings and trying to get 6 customers to > validate that we can deliver to the target customers. We expect a much > larger rollout in FY18 [starts in June 2017]. So, there is really not > much to tell right now.[/color] ## – kgroneman kgroneman’s Profile: [https://forums.netiq.com/member.php?userid=2](https://forums.netiq.com/member.php?userid=2) View this thread: [https://forums.netiq.com/showthread.php?t=56715](https://forums.netiq.com/showthread.php?t=56715) ---

FYI this email address should work and you can get what you need: [AsAService@microfocus.com](mailto:AsAService@microfocus.com) (the web site will be updated) Sorry it all took so long. – Kim - 11/14/2016 11:49:13 AM
