Here at Atlassian, we recently went through an exercise to consolidate the authentication and identity management of our key support systems.  As we have grown, we have seen a number of account silos materialize across our system landscape.

Wiki Theater – Five Killer Use Cases for Wikis

Every conference we attend seems to be full of passionate Atlassian customers. Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco last week was no exception. We got to catch up with dozens of Confluence customers including folks from Bank of America, VSP, and Kaiser Permanente just to name a few.
