Ping Innovation Day

We held our first innovation day two weeks ago. This is something Bill and I have been talking about for several months, so I was quite excited to finally kick it off. One of the challenges of serving the enterprise market is how to balance innovation and the backlog of enterprise requirements that inevitably come your way. This program will for the first time, allow our engineers to step outside of the constraints of marketing and the customer backlog and work directly on those things they think will move the needle the most. With some success, we hope to expand upon this program.

Family Day at Ping

Last Friday we invited all of the Ping children into the office for lunch with mom or dad. We moved the couches and setup banquet tables near the windows. The children had a ton of fun, and each got a surprise gift basket, as well as a chance to see where their parents worked during the day. We're still cleaning up the spaghetti. Thanks for Mark Hotchkiss for the photos!

Forget 30 Days. Federate in 30 Minutes!

We typically check up with people who have downloaded PingFederate a day or so after the download, just to see how they're doing. We received the following response this morning from one such individual, when asked if he needed help getting PingFederate integrated and operational. To be fair, installing and integrating PingFederate is only the first step in federating with partners, but when the installation could take days, weeks or even months with toolkits or stack vendor software, this is quite an accomplishment.
