Centrify Unveils New Program for MSPs
Centrify, an unified identity management specialist, announced a new managed service provider channel program, as well as MSP-specific product enhancements to its Cloud Identity offerings.
The new MSP program augments the existing Centrify Channel Partner Network (CCPN). The new program allows solution providers to leverage Centrify’s identity-as-a-service (IDaaS) technology to address their customers’ requirements for single sign-on (SSO) to software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps such as Office 365, multi-factor authentication (MFA), user provisioning, enterprise mobility management (EMM) and VPN-less access to on-premises applications such as Sharepoint.
Centrify enhanced the Centrify User Suite product, which provides a single Active Directory- or cloud-based login to corporate resources, including mobile devices, Macs and cloud apps, to enable MSPs to offer a scalable IDaaS product. MSPs can now create private tenants for their customers, and easily log in and manage those tenants (including enabling/disabling tenants they have created), all from a single pane of glass. The subscription model creates a new revenue stream for existing partners who want to conduct some portion of their business as an MSP, said the company.
