SinglePoint is the first Internet utility for secure SaaS and cloud application access, delivery and integration. SinglePoint is a security integration-as-a-service platform architected with the scalability and reliability required for the most demanding Fortune enterprises and cloud service providers. SinglePoint uniquely combines identity and access management capabilities through a pre-integrated cloud-based hub that links with the enterprise data center. SinglePoint’s unique ‘connect once, integrate an ecosystem’ approach accelerates secure SaaS deployments at a fraction of the cost. |

The current economic recession compels enterprises to cut costs and streamline operations, driving enterprises to adopt SaaS applications at a remarkable rate. Gartner predicts SaaS to grow in 90% of organizations in 2009. IDC estimates by 2012, enterprise spending on IT cloud services will grow almost threefold, to $42 billion. With growth comes growing pains in security, integration and administration. SaaS applications require security and integration with the enterprise to deliver their full economic potential while maintaining security and compliance.

For cloud computing to establish itself, it must first provide security on par with what exists inside the firewall. Security must adapt to the unique technical and organizational demands that the cloud presents. With the cloud and SaaS there are no perimeter controls like those that need to exist in the enterprise. What’s needed is a meta-security model that extends the enterprise to the cloud unifying access management, authentication, SSO, auditing, compliance and administration. |

Companies won’t abandon decades of IT investments to move to the cloud but instead must find a way to gradually adopt cloud technology. The enterprise must extend existing investments in people, processes and technology. On-premise security - user data and credentials in LDAP, Active Directory and SQL, - must be seamlessly extended to the cloud. |

SinglePoint is a portfolio of access management, authentication, SSO, federation, auditing, compliance and administration capabilities that integrate behind the firewall security infrastructure with the cloud. SinglePoint provides a security integration hub for enterprises and cloud service providers. SinglePoint virtualizes and integrates disparate elements of the enterprise security and identity infrastructure. This unified model breaks down silos, streamlines management, improves security and simplifies compliance.
As a trust broker, SinglePoint allows enterprises to connect once and be integrated with an entire ecosystem of SaaS destinations. SinglePoint is an expanding ecosystem of SaaS apps such as Salesforce.com, Google Apps, WebEx, ADP, Concur as well as cloud platforms like Amazon EC2. This network effect greatly accelerates the time to integrate to days instead of months of complex custom integration. |

Symplified has radically redefined the economics of purchasing, deploying and integrating identity and access management. SinglePoint employs a breakthrough ‘activation not integration’ model together with supported and managed integrations. For the first time, enterprises can leverage integration across a professionally managed network avoiding the expense and delay associated with custom integration. SaaS destinations are as easy to integrate as buying music through Apple’s iTunes store or subscribing to new channels on DirecTV.
SinglePoint can be used by any size company looking to adopt SaaS applications. It was engineered to make it as easy as possible for companies to quickly, easily and affordably integrate enterprise security with multiple SaaS applications. |
