Use cases that deliver ROI

CIOs need more than basic identity governance—they need a strategic enabler. SailPoint helps simplify complex IT environments, accelerate transformation initiatives, and reduce operational risk. Here’s how our solutions deliver measurable impact where it matters most.

CIO Use case 1

Automate IT tasks and boost productivity

Managing access manually across thousands of users—human and machine—and hundreds of applications slows teams down and drains resources. SailPoint helps CIOs eliminate repetitive, error-prone tasks by automating the full identity lifecycle—from onboarding and offboarding to access certifications and policy enforcement.

With less time spent on manual provisioning and access reviews, CIOs can free up valuable IT resources, reduce helpdesk tickets, and shift focus to innovation, not administration.

CIO Use Case

Modernize identity for a flexible, future-ready IT stack

Today’s IT leaders must evolve beyond pieced-together solutions and legacy tools that weren’t built for scale or speed. SailPoint empowers CIOs to transition from legacy identity systems and processes to a unified, cloud-native platform that integrates across hybrid environments.

Whether you’re supporting remote workforces, expanding into SaaS, or consolidating tech stacks post-M&A, SailPoint provides the foundation to simplify complexity and support transformation at enterprise scale.

CIO Use Case

Use AI-driven identity to spot and stop access risk

Security incidents often stem from unseen access gaps or policy violations—especially in complex IT environments. SailPoint uses AI to deliver real-time visibility and oversight into access risk across all identities, flagging outliers and abnormal activity before it impacts the business.

This continuous insight not only helps prevent threats but also ensures access policies are enforced consistently—making it easier to secure your enterprise, while meeting audit and compliance requirements, without manual intervention.
