Ping Identity and Astadia announced their partnership to simplify and secure the user sign-on and user account management process for Salesforce and dozens of other SaaS applications.

“In spite of the many advantages of cloud-based applications security weaknesses and added work associated with managing multiple user logins and multiple directories can become barriers to SaaS adoption,” said Mike Desai, Ping Identity Director of SaaS and BPO Business Development. “Internet Single Sign-On solves these problems, and Ping Identity’s SAML standards-based approach delivers cost-effective solutions that implement in days.”

Through this partnership, Astadia will help its clients resolve SaaS Single Sign-On and other Internet Identity Security related issues. “Improving cloud application performance and value requires administrators to address process, directory, technology, and security issues,” said Mike Lingo, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Astadia. “Ping Identity’s SSO solutions for SaaS will help our clients improve user adoption, reduce administrative costs and accelerate longer term SaaS strategies.”

Ping Identity’s on premise software (PingFederate) and on-demand service (PingConnect) deliver Internet SSO and Internet User Account management that helps increase SaaS user adoption and productivity, saves administrative time and cost, and strengthens security. Ping Identity’s Internet Identity security solutions support more than 350 customers worldwide including 40 of the Fortune 100 and 175 SaaS and BPO Providers.
