- Our identity services will be offering added value to end users by extending reach and functionality.
- By tapping into the emerging solution environment "wallet ecosystem", we might no longer need to perform certain tasks on our own.
Risks

- We as a community do not succeed at extending our identity services. Other market solution will fill the void and offer solutions not well suited to our sector and offering less functionality to end users.
- New" Systems: The transition to the expanded identity services might not occur smoothly, leading to a prolonged co-existence of traditional methods alongside the new ones. This could result in increased complexity and maintenance efforts for our sector.
- Failure to Extend Identity Services: If our community fails to successfully expand our identity services to encompass document presentation, it may create a gap that other market solutions succeed to fill. These alternative solutions might not be tailored to the specific needs of the research and education sector, potentially offering less functionality and security to end-users.
- Ineffective Marketing of Extended Identity Services: Despite the technological advancements, our community might struggle to effectively market the benefits and capabilities of the extended identity services to relevant stakeholders. If the benefits and capabilities of the extended identity services are not adequately communicated, other parties may perceive them as less trustworthy or less suitable for their needs. This lack of trust could prevent broader adoption of the services and hinder collaboration between the research and education sector and other sectors, ultimately impeding the overall success of the initiative.
- Resistance to Change: Resistance to change from stakeholders within the research and education sector, such as institutions, administrators, or users, could impede the successful implementation and adoption of extended identity services. Resistance may stem from factors such as inertia or fear of technology, requiring effective change management strategies to overcome.
- Interoperability Challenges: Ensuring interoperability with existing systems and standards, both within the research and education sector and with external stakeholders, is crucial for the successful integration and adoption of extended identity services. Incompatibilities or difficulties in integration could hinder seamless operation and collaboration across different platforms and organisationsWe as a community do not succeed at marketing our extended identity services. This could be related our inability to establish trust to other parties.
