Tom,

I understand the breadth of all of those numbers.  What I don't know is how many of these deployments make use of NetIQ as their identity management suite.  I am also not talking about a fault in NetIQ's normal access management products, but use of a product that is specific to act as an SP for some web based end user management products in their identity management suite.
