The Golden Guardian

We have a lot of fun here at Ping Identity. To be sure, we love our work, and we love our industry. From time to time, we like to mix things up. Keep things interesting. Sometimes we do things formally, sometimes informally. A while back we spoke about playing around with an identity super-hero. Turns out, we never did do anything formal in Ping, but while talking about it with one of my friends, he sort of ran with it. The result of his work (Bill Turner), and his friend, the artist (Ellory) is below. Considering Bill is a Realtor by day, and Ellory is a student, I'm impressed. Wow. Introducing the Golden Guardian.

Unsolicited Kudo's

Quite frankly, I'm blown away by some of the compliments we receive from customers. I consider myself fortunate to a part of an organization that is deserving of such kudo's. I woke up to the following email this morning. This is the way to start a day.

It's always difficult to prioritize taking the time to say thanks, but on the way to work this morning I was thinking about things that are reliable in our computing environment, and your product is definitely one of the them. Thank you for that.

Ironically, when things are reliable, there is naturally less need to talk with eachother, so I just wanted to take a moment to let you, and your whole team, know that we appreciate the engineering and user interface excellence of your products. With efficiency changes pressuring IT solutions, the "set it and forget it" attributes of your services become all the more appreciated, especially by those that directly play in the middleware forests.

All the best, -- Fortune 1000 Company

On-Demand Single SignOn for Salesforce & Google

Denver, Colo. – Nov. 4, 2008 – Ping Identity® today announced PingConnect™, an on-demand Internet SSO service for SaaS (software as a service) applications. Now available from Ping Identity, and on the Force.com AppExchange, PingConnect increases user adoption, reduces administration and strengthens security.

Ping Connect is initially available for Salesforce CRM and Google Apps™. It leverages Ping Identity’s award-winning PingFederate® Internet SSO software and PingEnable, the company’s expert support, services and methodologies, to deliver an on-demand Internet SSO service. PingConnect makes anytime, anywhere access to Salesforce CRM and Google Apps easier, automates user set up and removal and protects valuable data.

HOW IT WORKS

“Through years of working with hundreds of SaaS vendors, business process outsourcers, and their customers, we’ve clearly seen that PingFederate improves user adoption and streamlines administrative tasks,” said Ping Identity CEO Andre Durand. “With PingConnect we’re adding the advantages of an on-demand service to provide the benefits of Internet SSO to Salesforce and Google Apps users.”

More companies are moving to SaaS applications for inherent benefits like rapid deployment of new capabilities and easier configuration for administrators. In the May 21, 2008, report “On-Demand SFA Can’t Guarantee Success,” Gartner Vice President and Distinguished Analyst Robert Desisto said, “SaaS alone does not guarantee improved user adoption by salespeople…Salespeople want an SFA solution that's easy to use, provides information that will give them advantage selling, has collaboration tools that enable them to work with other team members, and reduces administrative burdens.”

Because PingConnect works with existing user directories and authentication mechanisms, there is no compromise to security and no administrative time wasted in setting up external SaaS directories or manually provisioning users. PingConnect supports all access methods to Salesforce CRM including desktop and mobile browsers, Connect for Microsoft Outlook and emailed report URLs.
