Ping Identity’s 2022 Partner of the Year Awards

Ping Identity’s Global Partner Network is comprised of companies that share our vision of protecting and advancing the digital experience. As a global leader in enterprise identity security, we have been lucky enough to work with many exceptional businesses. Ping Identity would not have our large global footprint without such key partners that share our passions. 

The year 2022 posed a unique set of challenges with market fluctuations. Yet, our partners helped Ping exceed expectations—delivering secure employee and customer experiences in a changing environment. With these notions in mind, we are pleased to announce Ping Identity’s 2022 Partners of the Year: 

For an incredible 5th year in a row, Delivery Partner of the Year is given to ProofID for outstanding performance in Ping Identity’s Delivery Approved Program. 

ProofID develops world-class identity solutions that seamlessly combine Ping’s technology with their own intellectual property (IP) and methodology. In fact, ProofID was one of the first companies to accept the challenge and deliver a DaVinci connector. ProofID has also brought immense value to our partnership with their own IP and Managed Service. On a daily basis, ProofID solves complex identity challenges, while also providing exceptional customer experiences that accelerate time to value. 

Each year, the Rising Star award is given to the partner showing the most growth and potential within the Ping channel program. In 2022, we proudly bestow this well-deserved recognition to Netbr. 

Located in Brazil, Netbr is one of Ping Identity’s fastest-growing partners in Latin America. Over the past few years, they have shown tremendous growth by way of innovation and sourced opportunities. To fuel this expansion, Netbr has invested heavily in their region concerning both employee training and delivery capabilities. 

Ping Identity is thrilled to give the Distribution Partner of the Year award for 2022 to Carahsoft. The team at Carahsoft has earned this distinction by working with the Ping Identity sales team in consistently meeting revenue goals. 

Through their own comprehensive marketing campaigns and hands-on work with Ping salespeople, it's clear that Carahsoft exhibited unmatched ambition in 2022. Most notably, they showed amazing creativity in executing an ambitious growth plan for Ping’s government business. In the end, Ping saw tens of millions in orders processed because Carahsoft dedicated its own resources to help promote our products. 

For the second year in a row, Optiv has won the North American Partner of the year award from Ping Identity. This recognition is only given to those companies that exemplify the very best of Ping’s standards and values. 

Throughout the year 2022, Optiv positively impacted our business on several fronts. The Optiv sales team took a critical role in growing Ping’s customer base by promoting alignment and engaging with field sellers. Not only did Optiv grow its delivery practice, but it also invested in DaVinci and helped promote our new offerings. 

The International Partner of the Year award is given to the company that best promotes Ping’s standards across LATAM, EMEA, and APAC. Australian-based Versent has the honor of winning International Partner of the Year in 2022. 

Versent is a leading IT service and born-in-the-cloud consulting partner with an international footprint. Versent worked diligently with Ping to expand its security and identity offerings in the past year. Because it is a highly engaged and innovative company, Versent achieved one of the highest sourced growth numbers in the entire Ping channel.

The Technology Alliance Partner of the Year award goes to Amazon Web Services (AWS). In fact, 2022 is the second time AWS has received this recognition. This award goes to companies that demonstrate excellence in innovation, while also solving business challenges with Ping’s products. 

Technology alliance partners are an important value driver for Ping and our customers. Through partnerships with companies like AWS, we provide customers with value-added solutions to increase both security and UX. In turn, partner companies enhance their ROI via Ping’s tools. 

AWS is one of the world’s most comprehensive and widely used cloud platforms. Working with Ping, AWS regularly drives field engagement and aligns go-to-market strategies to create new opportunities. Moreover, we can always rely on AWS to collaborate with Ping for expanded integrations and capabilities.  

The GSI Partner of the Year award recognizes companies that pioneer advanced programs by thinking 12-18 months into the future. In 2022, Ping is excited to recognize Deloitte with this honor, as it consistently ensures customer innovation happens far ahead of competitors.  

As one of the world’s leading consultancies, Deloitte can easily handle working with complex GSI technology. When engaged with Ping, Deloitte applies a deep integration of both organizations - including go-to-market offerings and brand messaging. By fusing the latest identity technology with sound business practices, Deloitte always meets the goal of delivering client value. Deloitte also adapted our P1AS platform - enabling them to provide innovative identity practices and multi-vendor solutions to enterprise customers. 

Finally, Deloitte took part in our “Art of the Possible” challenge this year at YOUniverse. 

Through the Ping Identity Global Partner Network, we have been lucky enough to partner with many exceptional companies. Whether it be helping Ping’s sales presence in new markets or promoting novel offerings like DaVinci, our partners’ contributions can’t be overstated. These companies helped Ping set new standards in the identity industry in 2022, while also advancing the digital experience for everyone.
