Okta Teams up With Cloud Sherpas To Accelerate Adoption Of Cloud Computing In Enterprises

September 20, 2011 by Robin Wauters 3 Comments

Today, Okta, an on-demand identity and access management service provider, and Cloud Sherpas, a Google Apps cloud service provider, announced a new partnership with the goal of accelerating enterprise adoption of cloud computing.

This partnership between Okta and Cloud Sherpas will help organizations of all sizes adopt Google Apps and streamline initial set-up and reduce IT expenses, as well as increase productivity for employees and administrators.

Cloud Sherpas is a reseller and solutions provider, simplifying the process of ‘going Google,’ and says it has helped more than one million end users from hundreds of companies migrate to Google Apps — the cloud email and collaboration platform for businesses from start-ups to large enterprises.

Okta and Cloud Sherpas have already worked together to bring cloud to a number of companies, including AMAG Pharmaceuticals, using Okta to manage Google Apps and more than 20 other cloud-based applications.

Okta recently unveiled a new on-demand identity and access management service that helps enterprises accelerate the adoption of their cloud and web-based applications.

With Okta, IT can address the security and management challenges by integrating cloud applications with existing directory services, controlling access across applications, quickly provisioning and de-provisioning employees, and centrally analyzing usage across all applications.

For end users, Okta provides single sign-on across all of their applications, eliminating password fatigue and improving their productivity.

Led by CEO Todd McKinnon, most recently VP of Engineering at Salesforce.com, Okta has raised $11 million, led by Andreessen Horowitz.

Early Okta customers include Pandora, LiveOps, Enterasys, FusionStorm, and AMAG Pharmaceuticals.
