Simeio: Single-source Provider for Identity Management Solutions

Please tell us about the features and functionalities of your solution.

Our Identity Orchestration platform powers our other solutions. Today customers have multiple identity requirements, including identity and governance administration, access management, privileged access management, and customer identity authentication. Each of these identity requests has multiple features within it. Take, for instance, access management. It includes multi-factor authentication and adapter risk-based authentication. Businesses procure different tools for each domain of identity management. To make all these tools work together, they need standard policies and workflow. Our Identity Orchestrator fills this gap in the identity management world. It is a single platform that consolidates identity management, simplifies the operation of complex functionalities, and supports multi-vendor identity and access management platforms for privileged access management, customer identity management, and identity governance and administration. The platform acts as a common process engine that stitches all the business processes, workflows, and control policies together. Setting one common policy layer, it deploys standard policies to different identity systems of clients.

The other capabilities of the identity orchestration platform are analytics and application onboarding. It aggregates identity data from clients’ different systems and analyzes it. These analytics are predefined based on clients’ specific KPIs and business outcomes. We show these analytics using a common orchestration layer. The platform also enables clients to deploy new applications easily, integrate those with existing ones, and secure applications through a self-service format.

As a company, our goal is to deliver innovative features through the Identity Orchestration platform. Most of our competitors are focused on providing particular capabilities specific to their products. As opposed to this, we abstract various capabilities, exposing those to a common orchestration layer and delivering those across the identity ecosystem.

Please share a customer success story with us.

We were working with a large government healthcare entity that supports millions of citizens to obtain access to electronic health records using the Oracle IAM on-prem. The client leveraged IAM technology to enable SSO to clinical healthcare viewers and digital healthcare applications. But due to their huge on-prem infrastructure spanned across hundreds of healthcare sites, the management and oversight of the IAM technology was cumbersome.

We helped them to shift to a cloud model and migrated 33 critical care sites seamlessly. This enabled them to leverage cloud-based management capabilities and a centralized view of all the data. They could also integrate additional healthcare applications using modern IAM interfaces (OAuth/OIDC).

In a nutshell, the migration to the cloud has set this healthcare entity up for future innovation and enabled modernization in a short time frame. It spans 104,000 healthcare providers enabling 14 million patient records access behind the service.

How has the journey been so far for Simeio and what does the future hold for the company?

We have been growing at a rate of over 30 percent over the last ten years. Since COVID, this growth rate has further accelerated as most customers are undertaking digital transformation initiatives by migrating applications to the cloud. This has driven the need for identity management which accelerated the demand for our services. The concept of work from home or anywhere has also been a critical factor for our growth. We are following these high-level macro trends and offering our services accordingly.

Moving ahead, we are looking forward to expanding our footprint in the European and North American markets. We have also planned to introduce more vertical-specific offerings. Although our clientele ranges from banks and hotel chains to major retailers, we focus on financial services and the healthcare sector to offer vertical-specific offerings for now. We are investing heavily to offer packaged solutions and services to the digital health space. With COVID, healthcare providers are focusing on digital models more than ever. The healthcare industry needs to ensure the safety and privacy of patient data while providing access to various care providers, payors, and insurance companies without interruption.
