Okta Unveils Industry's First Integrated Identity Management and Mobility Management Solution

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 11, 2014) - Oktane14 -- Okta today unveiled Okta Mobility Management, formally marking the company's entrance into the $4 billion market for enterprise mobility management. An extension of Okta's category-defining identity platform, the addition of Okta Mobility Management results in the industry's first integrated identity management and mobility management solution, and delivers on the company vision to connect any combination of people, applications, devices and organizations.

"The rapid shift to loosely coupled devices and use of native applications instead of the browser introduces a new set of security and management challenges for IT," said Eric Berg, chief product officer of Okta. "With Okta Mobility Management, we're combining the core of Enterprise Mobility Management with our cloud-based identity platform to automate end-to-end scenarios in a way that was never possible. This functionality, combined with our per-user pricing and support for unlimited devices, results in a powerful combination that delivers greater value than any standalone solution in either market."

Integrated Identity & Mobility Management: More Efficient, Secure and Productive

Okta Mobility Management provides a single access management layer across the enterprise cloud to keep users productive in any context -- and gives IT control end-to-end, from the directory to the browser to the mobile device. As an example, many of Okta's customers use Okta to automate application provisioning through its integration with HR systems like Workday. When an employee joins the company and their Okta account is created, all of their applications are automatically provisioned based on profile data collected in the HR system. Okta Mobility Management builds on this scenario by now also provisioning or de-provisioning native mobile apps to any managed devices, without disruption to personal applications or data. And if the employee is terminated, Okta Mobility Management also automates the deprovisioning process and selectively removes managed apps and data from devices or executes a complete factory reset.

Like Okta's cloud-based identity platform, Okta Mobility Management is also delivered entirely as a service, eliminating the need for on-premises components, complex integrations, or software maintenance fees. Priced on a per user/per month basis with support for unlimited devices, the solution increases IT efficiency, improves mobile security and enables greater user productivity than any standalone solution for identity or mobility management available in the market.
