Maintaining Choice. It's a Choice
Dear Colleague,
Every six months or so, I notice a significant change in our industry, this time, it’s marked by a dramatic increase in the number of high level executive level meetings I've been called to. We’re now meeting the boss, and the boss’s boss. More companies seem not only willing, but eager to make a break from their established identity stack vendor. With many complex identity projects stalling, customers tell us they value the simplicity and speed of PingFederate implementations and the responsiveness they get from Ping Identity. Now, more than ever, they appear to be making a conscious decision to choose the best product from the independent vendor.
What these meetings also tell me is that Internet single sign-on has graduated from being tactical to strategic, While the market is still developing, these enterprises value a fresh, independent perspective on how to quickly achieve success. They are also making a conscious decision to break free from stack vendors.
We feel honored that so many of you have chosen Ping Identity. As Internet single sign-on use-cases grow and become even more strategic, we promise not to let you down.
