Four complex identity migrations and upgrades.
Each in a different country, without disrupting customers.
Before your identity renewal
Your identity renewal is a five-year spending decision.
Decide whether to renew, renegotiate or move while every option is still open, and know what each would cost and what budget a change could release.
You will speak to Juan Redondo, co-founder and Director of Identity.
Sound familiar?
When the contract starts deciding for you.
The later the decision, the fewer the options.
- Your identity platform renews within 24 months. And the price is rising.
- Your licence bill grows every time you add customers.
- Nobody has costed a credible alternative. So renewal wins by default.
- The notice date will arrive before the decision does.
The business case
What a change could release, and when.
An illustrative example from our five-year model. Your figures will differ.
Year 1 net position−$215,000Migration and running both platforms exceed the saving in year one.
Cumulative balance turns positiveYear 2The point at which the move has paid for itself.
Five-year budget released$5,625,000Without growth in licensed customers.
Illustrative only: $2.1 million a year in current licence and support, six months of dual running and Midships upper planning figures. Not a customer result, a quotation or a commitment to savings.
What we have done
Independent advice, and the ability to carry it out.
We do not resell vendor licences. We do offer our own platform, Midships Keycloak, and we will tell you when staying where you are is the better answer.
9,000 transactions per second, proven.
Demonstrated on both the incumbent platform and Midships Keycloak.
How we start
A conversation about the business problem, not a sales pitch.
First · free · about 45 minutes
What the first conversation establishes
- Your decision and notice dates, and how much time you really have.
- The cost categories that matter over five years.
- The constraints that rule options in or out, and the credible options to investigate.
You do not need to share your vendor quote before an NDA. Your pricing model, approximate spend and dates are enough to begin.
Then
An options assessment and business case
A fixed-price assessment compares staying, renegotiating and moving on your own figures, with the decision dates, risks and a business case your CFO can approve.
Next step
Tell us when your renewal falls.
Juan Redondo, co-founder and Director of Identity, will reply personally, usually within one working day. Or email sales@midships.io and mention “identity renewal”.
