Teaming Up with Egnyte on Identity and Access Management

March 13, 2014

In the era of the extended enterprise, fewer boundaries exist thanks to continuous innovations in cloud and mobile technologies, and the mix of users whose identities an organization needs to manage is expanding. Identity management is no longer just about employees, but also contractors, customers and partners.

Symplified was founded on the principle that identity is central to enterprise security. As such, we’re pleased to announce Symplified is now an identity management technology partner with Egnyte. As partners, we will enable our joint customers to provide secure single sign-on capabilities for employees, contractors, customers and partners. These authorized users will be able to easily access business-critical files on-premises and in the cloud, from any device anywhere in the world.

Additionally, our joint customers will have centralized provisioning capabilities, which eases the burden of creating and managing user accounts across multiple cloud applications. Centralized provisioning also eliminates the replication of sensitive user data and reduces the time required to maintain accounts across multiple apps.

Symplified leveraged Egnyte’s APIs to build the integrated solution which is ideal for enterprises in regulated industries like finance and healthcare that have greater security and compliance concerns. The solution’s centralized provisioning capabilities will enable these organizations to maintain visibility and control over corporate data.

We’re excited about our new partnership with Egnyte and look forward to sharing updates on our mutual developments on The Symplified Blog. In the meantime, to learn more about our partnership, visit here.
