When first introduced, entitlement management products were considered appropriate primarily for
custom-built applications because source code was accessible to perform the necessary integration.
Broader ranges of applications are now considered appropriate candidates because the technology has
matured and attitudes have evolved . J2EE application platforms are also a prime candidate for integration
with entitlement management systems because vendors have focused on building policy enforce ment
enforcement point (PEP) agents that handle authorization processing with little to no application changes. Web
services style applications are also candidates for integration - consuming entitlement management
functionality as a service for authorization. Finally, Microsoft SharePoint has emerged as a significant
pull to spur demand for entitlement management products to protect SharePoint installations that have
outgrown the application 's native authorization capabilities.
