SailPoint Extends Global Footprint, Adds Major European Companies to Its Customer Base

SailPoint, the leading provider of governance-based identity management solutions, continues its steady global expansion and has signed more than a dozen of Europe's largest companies as customers in the last six months. SailPoint's European customer base now includes prestigious companies such as: Aviva, Nordea, Rabobank International, Sanofi-Aventis Group, Société Générale, Swedbank, Tesco Bank and UBS, among others. To support this growth, SailPoint also announced it has opened a Centre of Excellence in Germany as well as a development center in Israel.

Some of the world's largest companies rely upon SailPoint IdentityIQ™ to help proactively mitigate risk, reduce IT costs, and ensure compliance associated with user access controls. SailPoint's award-winning governance-based identity management solution provides enterprises with full visibility into their identity data, and enables them to automate the business processes associated with user access controls while ensuring the company's corporate policies are enforced.

"At Rabobank, we needed a solution to better address stringent compliance requirements and manage security risk associated with user access," said Jethro Cornelissen, global head of security operations for Rabobank International. "SailPoint IdentityIQ will allow us to move from a manual process that provided fragmented visibility into our identity controls to a fully automated process that provides full visbility into and control over our enterprise identity data. The product has been received enthusiastically by business users and other security units who immediately ask, 'When can we have it?' when they see the information it can provide."

SailPoint's customers represent a who's who list of the world's largest companies, all of whom require an identity management solution that can scale to support large global deployments. In order to prove that IdentityIQ could meet and exceed the performance and scalability metrics of these customers, SailPoint recently conducted a series of benchmark tests, sponsored by two of the world's largest financial services companies. During the testing, IdentityIQ demonstrated the ability to support an environment of thousands of applications while aggregating massive amounts of identity data: more than 100,000 users, millions of accounts and more than 10 million entitlements. For more information on the testing, please see the press release: SailPoint Supports World's Largest Identity Governance Deployments.

"In today's global economy, government mandates know no boundaries and affect almost every Global 1000 company," said Kevin Cunningham, president and cofounder of SailPoint. "These companies are also facing the complex challenge of providing secure access for hundreds of thousands of employees. Our market success is a direct result of our ability to deliver innovative solutions that address these identity management challenges in a measureable and demonstrable way. As more and more companies experience the real benefits of our governance-based approach to identity management, SailPoint will continue to build our ability to provide service and support to our customers, who currently span dozens of countries."
