Ping Identity® today announced it has passed the 250 milestone for global customers using PingFederate for secure Internet single sign-on. Ping Identity’s customer base – now at 265 – includes 30-percent of the Fortune 100 and more than 130 SaaS and BPO providers.

Ping Identity SaaS partner RazorGator views PingFederate as a strategic business tool, providing single sign-on to its TicketOS corporate customers.

“Ping Identity’s technology is outstanding,” said John Wallace, general manager of RazorGator’s TicketOS. “Ping Identity allows our corporate customers to easily access their ticket management software application in a reliable and simple manner.”

Ping Identity’s growth has continued to accelerate as more companies implement on-demand business applications for cost savings, improved business flexibility, greater velocity and focus. The selection of Ping Identity demonstrates that companies value speed and simplicity, and understand the business value of secure Internet single sign-on.

“Securing external applications is becoming a much higher priority in today’s identity management initiatives,” said Ping Identity CEO Andre Durand. “Unlike the last decade where we often saw overly complex provisioning, identity management and Web access management projects end in failure, many companies are rethinking their strategy, opting instead to focus on Internet single sign-on deployments that achieve success quickly.”

With SAML-based single sign-on connections to more than 220 customers, Rearden Commerce, the creator of the first Web-based personal assistant and leading choice among companies for managed spending, leverages PingFederate to ensure its customers’ success in gaining user adoption of the tool.

“After just one month of using PingFederate for Internet single-on, one of our customers achieved an 81-percent user adoption of its online air booking tools,” said Chuck Mortimer, director of platform services for Rearden Commerce. “Much of that success is attributed to our secure, standards-based capabilities, allowing seamless access and a smooth transition to our end users.”

Ping Federate provides safe access to Internet applications without the need for repeat logins. Unlike other identity federation solutions that can take months to deploy, PingFederate is easy-to-implement and can be deployed in only a few days. The latest release, PingFederate 5.2, includes automated provisioning and advanced user access methods to support comprehensive SSO for Salesforce and Google Apps™.
