SailPoint Releases Next Generation Provisioning Solution

Company Builds on Its Identity Governance Base and Provisioning Heritage to Streamline Implementations and Reduce Costs

AUSTIN, Texas, March 22, 2010 - Global 500 companies have invested millions of dollars on IT provisioning
implementations, yet most still cannot provide prompt access to resources for
new employees, immediate removal of access for terminated workers, or rapid
processing for all the changes as employees move around the organization. To
address that problem, SailPoint (www.sailpoint.com) has added
end-to-end provisioning capabilities to its award-winning identity governance
solution, SailPoint IdentityIQ(TM) (www.sailpoint.com/product), and
can now automate the entire user access request and fulfillment process.
Building on its early innovations in identity governance and leveraging its
founders' provisioning heritage at Waveset Technologies, SailPoint's
governance-based provisioning solution is designed to simplify
implementations, reduce costs and deliver immediate business value.

"Companies struggle today with provisioning because the technology is
expensive, overly complex and difficult to implement," said Mark McClain, CEO
and cofounder of SailPoint. "The cost and complexity of implementing
provisioning has limited the extent of its deployment in most organizations
to a small minority of total applications. By implementing provisioning on an
identity governance foundation, companies will benefit from shorter
implementation times and broader application coverage. At the same time, it
will be much easier to involve business users in all aspects of compliance
and governance processes associated with user access control."

SailPoint's new approach to provisioning begins with a governance layer,
which provides an enterprise-wide view into a company's identity data,
applies intelligent, risk-aware controls to user access based on corporate
policies, and then automates access request fulfillment across the
organization through the most efficient processes available. This offers
customers:

    - Simplified deployments. SailPoint's approach begins with the mining and
      modeling of all necessary information about users, access privileges,
      roles and policy into a single governance platform, enabling
      organizations to automate access request and provisioning processes
      without extensive workflow and custom coding. This reduces custom
      coding requirements by 200-300 percent.

    - Lower deployment costs. SailPoint provides an open and flexible
      approach to the "last mile" of provisioning - the connector layer where
      changes are executed on IT resources - by supporting multiple
      techniques and processes for making changes to resources. This
      eliminates the hundreds of thousands of dollars organizations typically
      spend on "last mile" integrations. It also allows customers to
      immediately focus their identity management efforts where the highest
      value exists: at the business process and governance layer to ensure
      consistent, enterprise-wide compliance with internal and external
      security mandates.

    - Business and IT alignment. SailPoint provides the first user interface
      designed specifically for business users to request access and manage
      user lifecycle events. Traditional provisioning tools were designed for
      use by IT administrators and were too cryptic and technical for
      business users. With its business-friendly user interfaces, SailPoint
      makes it easy to involve business users in all identity management
      processes, such as access requests, change approvals, access
      certifications and role lifecycle management.

"Having a foundational identity and access governance platform in place
and then expanding it into provisioning makes a lot of sense for companies,"
said Ian Glazer, senior analyst at Burton Group (acquired by Gartner).
"Building a complete view of entitlements and access privileges is step one.
The next step is to leverage role management and create a centralized policy
that dictates who should have access to those resources. Companies then have
the benefit of leveraging that model, built for compliance, across its
provisioning processes."

SailPoint's new provisioning solution, IdentityIQ Lifecycle Manager, will
be available April 30 and provides the following key capabilities:

    - The industry's first access request interface designed specifically for
      business users, which provides a "shopping cart" styled interface for
      convenient and intuitive selection of roles and entitlements.

    - Full lifecycle event management that integrates with authoritative
      sources, such as HR systems and corporate directories, to identify
      changes in employment status, automatically trigger the appropriate
      changes in IdentityIQ, and generate the appropriate provisioning
      requests to ensure closed-loop access fulfillment.

    - A provisioning broker that enables organizations to centralize policy
      and controls in a governance layer above provisioning, while
      cost-effectively orchestrating changes to target resources using
      3rd-party provisioning solutions, help desk solutions, emails sent to a
      system administrator or SailPoint's own Provisioning Engine, which
      includes more than 50 out-of-the-box read/write connectors and a custom
      connector toolkit for deploying to custom applications.
