When It Comes to Survival, Smartest Is the New Fittest

By Kevin Cunningham President & Co-founder

We're all living through tough economic conditions, including a volatile employment market, budget pressures and shrinking IT resources. So, that explains why more business species are on the verge of extinction today than at any other time since the dawn of the Information Age, right? Not necessarily. Trying times don't turn companies into fossils. It's the way organizations respond to environmental pressures that determines their survival.

At SailPoint we believe that evolutionary shift happens. Not by accident, but by design. We've evolved our product and delivery offerings to make deploying SailPoint's identity governance solution faster and more affordable than ever before. Our goal is to create efficiencies for our customers so that our software pays for itself – immediately – leaving no doubt that it was a smart investment.

Risk has evolved. Have you?

According to SailPoint's latest Market Pulse Survey, 70% of the companies surveyed don't know who has access to what. If you are feeling exposed in this area, we can give you the identity intelligence and visibility across your network to allow you to find and mitigate your identity risks. Our 30-Day Identity Risk Assessment was created for that exact purpose. We'll pinpoint trouble spots for you – including orphan accounts, rogue accounts, privileged users and more – quickly and inexpensively. You'll receive business-friendly reports that detail user access to critical resources, identify areas of concern and provide a roadmap to resolve compliance gaps and security threats immediately.

Auditors threatening your extinction?

Many companies are facing audit deficiencies around identity and access management, but lack the resources to evolve away from outdated manual or spreadsheet-based compliance processes. For those companies, we created a QuickStart deployment for SailPoint IdentityIQ. This program allows you to centralize and automate access reviews and certifications across a set of your highest priority, highest-risk systems in less than a month. You'll gain immediate transparency to cross-enterprise identity data for your five most sensitive applications and be able to automate the certification process to demonstrate oversight and accountability. QuickStart allows you to address your immediate compliance and audit concerns, and provides a roadmap to extend the deployment to a broader set of applications and systems in the future.

Software deployments moving at glacial speed?

Given today's economic challenges, many organizations are looking for ways to speed and simplify software deployments. It's no longer acceptable or prudent to invest in technology that takes 18-24 months to deploy. To ensure that you don't have to wait a millennium to see results, SailPoint offers a range of deployment options, including virtual appliances, hosting and managed services. These options remove the burden of installing hardware and the need to operate and maintain hardware and software – reducing your expenses, lowering IT staffing requirements, and accelerating time to results.

Put your dinosaurs in a museum

It's a mistake to assume that yesterday's provisioning technology is the answer to today's identity governance challenges. Provisioning is a decade-old technology that has, in the words of one analyst "been stretched to its limits." And new technologies that specialize in meeting compliance and governance challenges can tackle your problems quickly and efficiently. SailPoint's innovative, award-winning technology allows you to respond to changing business pressures immediately. And our flexible and adaptive delivery options will help you address security and compliance challenges in a manner that best fits your specific requirements, budget and priorities.

Escape the Ice Age. Evolve with SailPoint.

Sincerely,
