Lower identity cost. Keep the business running.
Reduce identity cost without compromising critical journeys. Midships designs, modernises and supports Keycloak and existing enterprise IAM environments, including customer-owned Ping estates, with independent advice on when to retain, renegotiate or migrate.

When identity becomes a board-level cost.
If one of these is true, set out the options now, while every route is still open.
- Licence cost rises with your customers. Pricing per active user or per stored identity grows with every digital success.
- A renewal or major upgrade is within 24 months. Options narrow and negotiating leverage falls as the date approaches.
- The platform depends on scarce specialist skills. Key-person risk and slow change make every release expensive.
- A migration has been discussed but never sized. Without evidence on the risk, the default is to renew.
Two platforms. Independent advice.
Reduce CIAM costs without compromising essential capability.
Assess renewal economics, authentication compatibility, operational resilience and migration risk before choosing a replacement.

Do we have to replace our existing IAM platform?
No. We assess whether retaining, modernising, renegotiating or migrating the platform makes the most sense for your organisation.
Does Midships support Ping Identity?
Yes. Midships provides independent engineering, migration and agreed L3 implementation support across customer-owned PingAM, PingDS and PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud environments. Midships is not a Ping reseller.
How is zero-downtime migration demonstrated?
By compatibility testing, parallel deployment, realistic rehearsals, clearly defined cutover criteria, observability and a rollback plan. Each workload is assessed individually.
Decide before the contract decides for you.
If your identity platform renews within 24 months, set out renew, renegotiate and migrate side by side while every option is still open.
Compare your identity options.
Start with your renewal timetable, five-year costs and the journeys you cannot disrupt. We can help assess whether to retain, renegotiate or replace.
