Persistent helps organizations say Bye-Bye to CA SiteMinder

Persistent Systems delivers a packaged solution for migrating from CA SiteMinder to Oracle Access Manager (OAM)


So why do we need a solution for this?

· Accelerated – Save time (i.e. $ on implementation)

· Lower Risk – Repeatable solution reduces project risk

· Proven – Well laid path by existing reference customers

· Turnkey – OOTB solution



Why do organizations want to migrate?

· CA SiteMinder has a very large & dissatisfied install base because of

o Poor investment in Dev and Support – There are substantially less engineers building/supporting SiteMinder then when it was part of Netegrity, while Oracle has increased the dev team on OAM

o Costly Support – CA support pricing model creates painfully high pricing (disproportionate with the rest of the market) in the mind of many organizations.

· Stack Limitations:

o As a stack, the Oracle IdM suite has dramatically out paced CA in completing the picture and innovating towards the future.



So who should consider this?

· SiteMinder users with Oracle products (DB, EBS, Apps, IdM…….) – i.e. those that will benefit from the Oracle IAM Suite and the broader Oracle Suite

· Customers who use both SiteMinder and OAM for different applications or business units – i.e. those hungry for actual SSO

· Customers who have SiteMinder environments through acquisitions – i.e. cost savings

· Anyone with a SiteMinder deployment


So why now? Why was this not done already?

· Legacy – SSO environments constitute several years of work/investment

· Perception – Migrations are seen as long, effort-intensive, expensive and risky

· Time – Typically ROI is too far away, but not in this case


Persistent Systems' SM2OAM solution addresses all these challenges!


Case in Point At a large public technology provider (not ORCL), the migration time from SM to OAM was brought down from 24 months to 6 months!



OK, so how do we do this?

· Option 1 - Fully outsourced

o Turnkey Persistent solution includes ‘acceleration plus services’

o All phases delivered by Persistent

o Direct, subcontract and fixed fee options available

· Option 2 - Joint solution

o Persistent provides ‘acceleration’ for existing services team

o Phases in blue delivered by partner, rest delivered jointly by Persistent

o Fixed fee, markup and shared revenue options available


So who is Persistent Systems?

· Over a decade working on the backend doing OAM engineering

· Over 140 person years of engineering experience with Oracle IAM stack

· Ongoing implementation efforts – 20+ marquee customers

· Winner of Oracle's partner ‘Challenge’ – OID 2 billion benchmark, ‘last-mile’ solutions

· 20 years old, profitable, 5K people, hundreds of customers, Thousands of product releases

· Global presence – North America, Europe, UK and Asia
