IAM as a service, is it financially, technically viable?

Association of buzz words: SaaS, Software as a Service, IaaS Identity Management as a Service. Service oriented Architectures, SOA great, but IAM as a web service ? I don't think so! Managed Information Cards as IaaS I could see happening

Here is a challenging view from the Burton Group:
SOA Is Dead; Long Live Services
Many service oriented architecture (SOA) initiatives have stalled or failed. And prospects for SOA look bleak in 2009. Most organizations have cut funding for their SOA initiatives. Except in rare situations, SOA has failed to deliver its promised benefits. It's time to face reality: the term "SOA" now carries too much baggage. It's time to declare that SOA is dead and move on to the more practical matter of bringing up its offspring. SOA's untimely demise is tragic, but, fortunately, many aspects of SOA live on-particularly in the form of services. Services provide the fundamental building blocks that enable software as a service (SaaS), cloud computing, and business process management (BPM). This Catalyst track will examine the myths and misconceptions that derailed SOA efforts, provide guidance for salvaging value, and supply actionable direction for future efforts.

Sorry for the double posting. All I did was hit the 'refresh button'

I wanted to add......

From the X.500 hype the dream of a'directory of the entire world' died a death but LDAP directories are a remaining legacy of which hundreds of thousands are deployed today performing a real service.

So my guess is Burtom will say Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) as a platform-independent XML-based registry for businesses worldwide to list themselves on the Internet may be dead, but that does not mean that businesses with maybe trusted partners may build loosely coupled services in the cloud. It is just that they will be by invitation only and you need to buy the cook Book. Is that what you think?
