Today Ping Identity® introduced PingEnable™, a comprehensive family of methodologies, training, support and implementation services for secure Internet Single Sign-On (SSO) deployments. Born out of the lessons learned and practices mastered in over 200 successful federated identity (SSO) projects, PingEnable is designed to minimize the risks and timeframes required to establish SAML and WS-Federation-based federated identity connections between relying business partners.

Ping Identity often completes secure Internet SSO deployments in thirty days or less, yet both industry analysts and other software providers often state that federated identity projects can take six to nine months or more. Ping Identity market research discovered two reasons for this disparity: the type of federated identity architecture being deployed, and a lack of expertise and experience in managing cross-departmental and/or company projects in federated identity management.

Ping Identity’s award-winning PingFederate software gives its users everything they need to implement secure Internet SSO in a single, standalone application. In addition, it is designed to work with whatever identity and application infrastructure are already in place. Now, PingEnable gives PingFederate customers the necessary knowledge and expert implementation services – or a combination of both – they need to ensure successful deployments.

“Since the inception of PingEnable, we have been successfully decreasing the average deployment time for secure Internet SSO with PingFederate by over 80%” said Mark Viens, Ping Identity. “We are changing the industry landscape with each implementation of federated identity management we successfully complete ahead of schedule and ahead of customer expectations.”

Ping Enable incorporates:

• Detailed methodologies that guide IT organizations and Line of Business Owners through each step of the identity federation process including proof of concept, first partner connection, managing connections partners 2 – n, and custom application interfacing
  
• Onsite and remote service offerings including capacity planning, system tuning, code reviews, and environmental optimization
• Education and training services delivered both remotely and onsite
• Gold, Silver and Bronze product support services that meet PingFederate customers’ different deployment, QA and production needs
• Gold Partner Coverage Plan for gold product support customers wanting to provide PingEnable support coverage for their connected partners
  

The PingEnable methodology documents are available at no charge to all PingFederate license key holders from Ping Identity Global Client Services. Additional information about PingEnable, as well as an overview of the first four PingEnable methodologies, is available on the Ping Identity Website.
