Our Technical Support and Product teams are often asked for advice and best practices regarding various technical subjects pertaining to our RapidIdentity software. Over the years, we’ve noticed that certain topics have a habit of popping up more than others. We knew that putting together step-by-step resources on these common topics would not only be educational for our customers, but would also enable them to explore these topics at their own pace.

As we announced in our recent press release, RapidIdentity 4.0 is now available, so I thought I’d discuss what this enhanced functionality and scalability means for our new and existing customers.

In April, Identity Automation launched its newly developed RapidIdentity Product Training Courses. These instructor-led, hands-on courses are designed specifically for administrators, system owners, and Identity Automation partners who implement, configure, or manage RapidIdentity. Together, the two courses – Foundations and Advanced – give participants an in-depth understanding of our RapidIdentity software and provide the necessary tools for a full identity lifecycle implementation.

This year’s Educause Security Professionals conference proved to be another exceptional learning experience. Attendance was strong, and our conversations with ed tech leaders from colleges and universities across the United States were even stronger. The theme for this year’s conference, “Data, Intelligence, Risk, and Value: Security and Privacy in Higher Ed,” was right on track with what we’ve been hearing from customers and prospects.

The end of March brought the first quarter of 2016 to a close, and as evident by the press release we distributed yesterday, it was a very strong growth period for us. I’m extremely proud of what our team accomplished over the first three months of the year.

Earlier this year, James Litton, our CEO, appeared on Texas Business Radio, the syndicated radio show that features leading businesses, people, and events from the Texas business world.

School district IT departments are under great pressure to do more with less. While much more focus tends to be placed on technologies that are used inside the classroom, those technologies are only possible with strong infrastructure in place on the backend. However, the money for both classroom and infrastructure technologies usually comes from the same budget, a budget which never seems to be large enough.

Our first conference this year is the Texas Technology Summit on February 9th in Houston, Texas where we’ll be exhibiting in booth #214. This year’s theme: “Conquering Your IT and Security Objectives.” At Texas Tech, CIOs and IT professionals can get the right tools and make vital connections to best prepare companies for the broad spectrum of ever-changing technology trends.
