I am excited to share our latest press release announcing that Identity Automation has acquired, 2FA, Inc., a cybersecurity company that specializes in multi-factor authentication and enterprise single sign-on (SSO).

In Q2 2016, our new bookings of annual recurring revenue under contract increased 139 percent year-over-year. With the quarter behind us, I thought I’d share a few accomplishments from the past few months that have contributed to this exceptional growth.

As you may have heard, we recently announced that we have become an Affiliate Member of the IMS Global Learning Consortium. 

The OneRoster standard is a subset of the Learning Information Services standard that focuses on the school’s needs to exchange roster information and grades. 

Recently, our CEO, James Litton sat down with the South Texas chapter of ISSA as part of the organization's podcast series on cybersecurity. Their conversation covered a wide range of security and identity and access management (IAM) topics, including identity and the Internet of Things, the future of passwords, contingent workers, IAM and the cloud, and much more.

At the end of June, I joined more than 16,000 ed tech leaders as they converged on Denver, Colorado for a week of idea sharing, collaboration, and networking at the 2016 ISTE Conference & Expo.

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.
