1. Symplified: Your Complete Identity Management Solution
The cloud is arguably one of the most disruptive forces in recent IT history and yet, for all
of its promises, adoption is still relatively nascent. Even ‘cloud first’ companies still express
concern about moving critical workloads and applications to the cloud, with the most cited
reason being security. Identities used to be contained within a local network and stored in
directories and databases.
Now there is an increased need to manage identities outside the traditional network due to
collaboration with external customers, contractors, and partners. This trend now requires
businesses to open their network perimeters to outsiders and applications.
A direct consequence of this trend is that application access has become much more com-
plicated. IT must now juggle a variety of user types who each have multiple app accounts.
Access to each of these apps requires differing levels of security, further complicated by the
various devices used to reach internal, SaaS, and web applications. It becomes immediately
apparent that businesses must have an identity and access management infrastructure that
easily and securely connects the enterprise and the cloud.
An Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solution addresses this very need in addition to reducing
the number of disparate user identities and password management burdens shouldered by
IT. Symplified is a comprehensive cloud identity solution that lets IT organizations simplify
user access to applications, regain visibility and control over usage, and meet security and
compliance requirements.

2. SYMPLIFIED ENABLES YOUR ORGANIZATION TO DO THE FOLLOWING
SIMPLIFY YOUR USER EXPERIENCE
Keep employees, customers and partners engaged and productive with convenient access to any cloud or on-premises
application through a unified, customizable SSO portal.
DEPLOY ON-PREMISES OR IN THE CLOUD
You can deploy Symplified on-premises behind your corporate firewall or in the cloud. This unique flexibility allows you to
meet your unique business requirements both now and into the future.
REGAIN ACCESS VISIBILITY AND CONTROL
IT gains new visibility into user behaviors as they use both cloud and on-premises applications.
CENTRALIZE POLICY MANAGEMENT
The Symplified Management Console provides centralized authorization, fine grained access control policies, provisioning
and auditing
ENSURE SECURITY AND AUDIT COMPLIANCE
There is no need to replicate sensitive user data to a 3rd-party’s private cloud nor is there open “side-door” access to
cloud applications. Symplified’s reporting feature delivers an enterprise audit trail, so you can meet security and compli-
ance requirements with confidence.
LEVERAGE YOUR EXISTING IDENTITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Authenticate users across multiple instances of identity stores such as Active Directory, LDAP, Google, Workday or any
other repository, without complex, expensive data consolidations. Additionally, you are not required to duplicate your
user information into a vendor’s private cloud.
EXTEND LEGACY IAM AND WAM INVESTMENTS
And Symplifed works well alongside existing on-premises IAM solutions, further extending your existing identity and ac-
cess policies out to cloud-based applications.
EMBRACE YOUR MOBILE USERS
Secure and manage access to cloud and on-premises applications by remote users and via mobile devices like tablets and
smartphones.
RUN PRE-DEFINED REPORTS
Your IT department can run several pre-defined user and application data reports right out of the box. Optimize your
SaaS subscription seats, monitor for suspicious behavior, and know system performance status at a glance.

3. A CUSTOM-TAILORED IDENTITY SOLUTION
Every company has different and unique identity management needs. With Symplified, a company can choose any or
all of the available components of single sign-on, access control, user management, and auditing in order to meet their
particular identity management needs. Built as a cloud-native solution, Symplified provides scalability, flexibility, and mo-
bility for any employee, partner or customer accessing your network. Symplified delivers all the tools needed to manage
today’s hybrid enterprise computing environments, with the capability to adapt to the changing needs of any organiza-
tion. Best of all Symplified IDaaS deploys for up to 80% less than the cost of traditional and more complex IAM software
solutions, further allowing companies to reduce the cost of their overall identity strategies.
MORE THAN JUST SSO
A comprehensive identity strategy involves so much more than just single sign-on to internal and external applications.
The need to manage individual user access down to the granular level of “employee role” has added a great deal of com-
plexity to IT administrators’ responsibilities. Fortunately, Symplified offers centralized administration to manage user ac-
counts, enforce user access policy, and provide detailed auditing around end-user access activity. As new applications are
added to your company’s ecosystem, Symplified ensures that you have complete control over all user types and accounts.
Provision new user accounts by simply adding a new employee to your identity user store, such as Active Directory. De-
provisioning user accounts used to entail a lengthy forensic investigation into all of the possible applications where a user
may have had access credentials. With Symplified’s Management Console, administrators can audit all user behaviors at a
moment’s notice and adding or removing accounts becomes a simple, centralized process.
