who needs it

• You need entity DM if you have a business project using Data Services as an enabling technology--especially if that project involves parties--or will eventually involve--parties outside your firewall.
  
  
• Even if you haven't seriously thought about Data Services, your developers have and may even already be using Data Services in some capacity or another. Face it, Data Services are the cool new technology that everyone wants to experiment with--and that leaves you exposed to security risks without a solution like entity DM.
