Sxip is pleased to announce the sale of our Sxip Access business unit to Ping Identity

Sxip Access was launched 3 years ago to provide identity management for salesforce.com customers. We saw this as one of the first places enterprises were solving identity management issues in an internet context -- a precursor to Identity 2.0 solutions. Since that time, we added support for Google Apps and enjoyed the opportunity to contribute to the growth of the on-demand software market.

While developing Sxip Access, we were also bringing other solutions to market such as Sxipper which allows individuals to manage and protect their online identities. Finding ourselves managing two distinct businesses with different markets, it made sense to evaluate our focus.

While we believe in the enterprise market opportunity, Sxip decided to focus on consumer solutions. We were therefore excited by the interest from Ping to integrate Sxip Access with their own identity management solution, giving our customers an even more comprehensive identity management solution.
