Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Why should we invest in SailPoint training for our team?

Training is an investment in the success of your SailPoint security identity program as well as in developing your team’s talent. It’s much more cost effective to skill-up and retain your existing team than to recruit and train new staff. Plus, poor implementation and low or no adoption will also end up costing you more in the long run. The ROI of getting everyone on board is invaluable. Identity University makes everyone’s job easier by keeping your identity security team up to date with SailPoint product and industry-wide innovations.
