Here’s the story.

I haven’t looked at all the business logic here, but, I can speak to Encentuate as a product.  Their management was horrible, but they had VERY good stuff.  I tried and tried and tried to get them into my last job, but political crap got in the way.  I was working in a psychiatric clinic, and Encentuate was perfect for medical environments.  The SSO was very easy to setup, and they also melded with RFID card readers and biometric devices for multi-factor authentication. 

If IBM doesn’t screw this up, they will end up with a good product.
