Why Now is the Perfect Time to Upgrade to Ping’s Cloud

In many ways, change defines the identity landscape of today. As new technologies, threats, and trends emerge, the identity and access management (IAM) space experiences overhauls, progressions, and evolutions. Our job at Ping Identity entails more than providing you with secure and seamless IAM experiences; we also help you anticipate the future landscape. 

As many of today’s top C-suite executives “are accelerating investments in digital transformation,” it's not a matter of if you will migrate to the cloud, but rather when (1). Many of today’s leading Fortune 100 Companies have realized that Ping’s cloud is a one-stop solution to many of their most significant IAM deployment challenges. 

With robust scale and performance, diverse SaaS capabilities, multiple cloud tenancy offerings, robust migration toolkits, and a host of case studies from some of the largest enterprises in the world, now is the perfect time to upgrade to Ping’s cloud. 

Whether it be an eCommerce site or a financial institution, Ping’s customers are under increasing pressure from every side. Some of the biggest IAM challenges faced by enterprises like you include:

• Digital Transformation: with rapidly changing technologies, it's challenging to stay abreast of new IAM trends, developments, and practices; if you fail to invest in IAM solutions that are dynamic and easy to integrate, you’re stifling innovation.

• Increased Threats: cybercriminals are becoming increasingly aggressive and sophisticated each year. 

• Tech-Savvy Users: in our digital-first world, users demand fast access, convenience, and personalization. 

• Digital Spend: navigating the highly complex waters of modern IAM can be extremely costly if mishandled - especially for enterprises reliant on-premise. 

As these identity challenges snowball and gain momentum, our software customers look to Ping’s cloud for holistic solutions. By migrating and bringing your identity services together in our cloud, you can simultaneously solve some of your biggest IAM problems.

Depending on your operational, compliance, and security needs, the Ping cloud portfolio has multiple deployment architecture options to meet your current IAM needs and help transition to the cloud. 

Multi-Tenant SaaS “PingOne”

Ping’s multi-tenant SaaS offering is an excellent choice for companies prioritizing easy onboarding, free upgrades, and scalability. Since resources are shared among multiple users, multi-tenant SaaS is also a more affordable option for organizations of any size or location. 

Dedicated Tenant SaaS “PingOne Advanced”

Ping’s dedicated SaaS solution is the perfect choice for organizations interested in full control, customization, simplified migration, and the ability to hyper-scale. Yet, since single-tenant architecture requires your own application, database, and server, it's a more costly option. Industries with strict regulations on data privacy, like finance and healthcare, benefit from dedicated SaaS solutions since they ensure data isolation.

• Tech-Savvy Users: migrating to Ping’s cloud is the best way to manage diverse use cases from a single set of tools. Using no-code, drag-and-drop orchestration to build unique user journeys, you can give users the convenient and personalized experiences they expect.

While it’s evident that Ping’s cloud offers solutions for some of your biggest IAM challenges, many organizations are hesitant to make the move for fear of costly, drawn-out migration processes that negatively impact users. However, with the expertise of Ping Identity behind your brand, the cloud migration process can be much easier than you think.
