Banks won’t abandon decades of internal IT investments to move entirely to the cloud, but they will identify ways to gradually adopt cloud technology where they can reduce expenses. The financial firm, for example, will look for ways to extend their existing investments in people, processes and technology to achieve greater efficiencies and cost reductions. On-premise security (user data and credentials in LDAP, Active Directory and SQL), must be seamlessly extended to the cloud as a crucial step to cloud adoption. Symplified allows enterprises to extend their enterprise to the cloud without sacrificing security and functionality of their existing environment.

The Symplified SinglePoint solution provides two key areas of functionality: Web Access Management and Cloud Access Management. Both areas of the SinglePoint solution have been optimized for the banking and financial sectors to simplify identity management, increase security and meet compliance standards across your enterprise.
