Identity Connector for the Cloud
Identropy's IC2 (Identity Connector for the Cloud) is a hosted or on-premise gateway that enables corporations with an existing investment in an Identity Management Provisioning solution to simply plug into Identropy's IC2 gateway to extend user management to their Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers. This allows corporations to automate the onboarding, offboarding as well as orphan account reporting for their cloud-based applications, just as they are managing traditional enterprise applications today.
As Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions are growing in adoption, leading Identity Management platforms largely ignore these off-premise applications. The result is an unmanaged user base and a widening of the attack surface. Customers that have tried to build these connections themselves have faced rapid changes, numerous protocols, and a unique codebase for each application that needs to be managed over time. Identropy fills this gap with IC2.

Since IC2 is based on SPML (Service Provisioning Markup Language), it significantly simplifies integration from your existing Identity Management Provisioning solution to the cloud. Whether you run Oracle Identity Manager, Novell Identity Manager, Courion Account Courier, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, or any other provisioning solution that supports SPML, simply direct SPML calls to Identropy's IC2 gateway, which will route the requests to your target SaaS applications in order to provision and deprovision accounts. The key benefits for using IC2 include:
- Leverage your existing investment in your Provisioning software rather than managing a separate solution for your SaaS applications.
- Allows your team to focus on managing business processes rather than connectivity. IC2 abstracts the backend complexities involved with integrating your provisioning solution to applications in the cloud. By leveraging Identropy's extensive experience in this space, just plug once into IC2 to manage users in all of your SaaS applications.
- Since SaaS applications are not governed by your corporation's change control processes, changes on their end may break your custom provisioning code. Identropy's IC2 technology will continuously monitor for these changes to minimize downtime.
- IC2's uptime is monitored by Identropy's managed services technology (SCUID Operations), ensuring proactive monitoring and management of the overall solution.
- Extend the reach of your provisioning software for SaaS applications in days instead of months and years.
