Rearden Commerce wins IDDY Award with PingFederate
Rearden Commerce was the recipient of the 2007 Liberty Alliance IDDY award at Digital ID World. They won the award and was recognized for the speed with which they deployed a SAML-based single sign-on solution based on PingFederate from Ping
Identity. Rearden Commerce's initial deployment of Ping Identity's
PingFederate went live on July 9, 2007 and within one month, Rearden Commerce
federated with 15 companies supporting 10-20 percent of all user sessions. Through PingFederate,
the Rearden Commerce platform provides single sign-on capabilities via a wide
variety of industry open standards, including SAML (Security Assertion Markup
Language) 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0 protocols or the WS- Federation protocol, enabling
corporations to provide secure seamless access to their employees without any
additional user authentication.
I'd love to say that great software alone made this possible, but the reality is, Chuck Mortimore of Rearden Commerce is an exceptionally bright guy, who simply knows how to get things done.
More on Rearden Commerce
Delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS) to more than half a million
employees in more than six hundred companies, the Rearden Commerce Personal
Assistant leverages federation technology to help users find and purchase the
services they need based on their preferences and company policies. Identity
federation allows enterprises a standards-based approach to securely link and
exchange identity information across partner, supplier and customer
organizations. It effectively bridges separate security domains to provide
companies with the ability to secure their cross- boundary interactions --
removing friction, improving productivity, gaining efficiency and enabling
competitive differentiation.
Through the use of federation technology, organizations deploying the
Rearden Commerce Personal Assistant have been rapidly achieving high levels of
user adoption. By making it easy for their employees to find and buy services
from preferred providers offering negotiated discounts, organizations typically
save 20-30 percent on the services purchased through the system.
