Enterprise IAM for organisations that cannot afford downtime.
For a regulated enterprise, an identity outage is a business incident and a failed migration is a regulatory event. Midships eliminates both, with zero downtime delivery, proven accelerators that compress deployment from months to weeks, and Guardian managed operations that keep your identity platform audit-ready 24x7.

Does Midships provide Ping Identity implementation services?

Is Midships a Ping Identity reseller?
As of September 2026, Midships is no longer a Ping Identity reseller. We continue to deliver and operate Ping environments as a vendor-independent specialist. This does not affect our technical experience or our ability to support customer-owned Ping environments, subject to the customer's product licence and support arrangements.
