Okta has announced a broad set of new functionality to dramatically extend the breadth and depth of its Enterprise Identity Network.
New service functionality includes major updates to its directory and provisioning services that extend the Okta user profile and automate a deep user connection to any application.
Also added is the ability for customers to easily build their own application integrations and add them to the Okta Application Network, and new features that bring Okta’s single sign-on and enhanced provisioning capabilities to more mobile devices and on-premise applications.
The update also includes a broad set of platform APIs that span the Okta service, extending capabilities already being used by organisations like Rotary, Informatica, and ServiceSource to build externally-facing and customised portals.
"We’ve built an extensive network of 3,000-plus applications, 500-plus enterprise customers and millions of users, as well as a vibrant ecosystem of partners, in just over four years. Each of these elements offers significant value in helping organisations adopt more mobile- and cloud-centric IT strategies," said Todd McKinnon, CEO of Okta.
"Today, we’re opening and extending that value to every user and organisation connected to Okta. As a result, we’re empowering IT leaders to worry less about maintaining technology and focus more on designing and deploying productive experiences for their people."
