Identity Management Firm Clear Skye Launches First Partner Program

Clear Skye, an identity management firm, on Thursday launched a new global partner program, Elevate. The program is for identity and access management (IAM) system integrators and consulting services firms.

Clear Skye provides identity governance and administration (IGA) offerings. The company has placed channel development at the center of its business model.

Elevate partners are selected based on a proven record of experience helping their clients build and manage successful identity programs. Partners receive access to Clear Skye product training, and co-marketing and resale options. They also can develop modules and integrations to drive increased value for customers and new revenue streams for themselves.

Clear Skye’s Luis Almeida

Luis Almeida is Clear Skye‘s CRO. He said partners have always been a core part of Clear Skye’s business plan, and IGA is partner intensive.

“Partners worked with us to establish the model we are rolling out today, in which they will continue to contribute integrations and develop repeatable revenue,” he said. “The program is straightforward and now opens up the ServiceNow ecosystem to the partners that have been traditionally in the identity space. For partners traditionally in the ServiceNow space, it now opens up the opportunity to enter the identity space.”

New partnerships also announced

Concurrent with the launch of Elevate, Clear Skye announced partnerships with Assertiv Consulting, Burning Tree, ICSynergy, Identropy, IDMWorks, IPG Group and more. They’re founding Elevate program members.

Through Elevate, they will provide Clear Skye with immediate global reach to meet the growing demand for IGA built natively on the ServiceNow Now Platform.

“Clear Skye is one of the most disruptive product developments in the IGA space that we have seen in the last few years,” said Paul Bedi, founder and CEO of IDMWorks. “We’re excited to partner with Clear Skye so we can greatly improve IGA results through true alignment between IT security management and identity governance on the Now platform.”

Clear Skye’s presence on the Now platform offers its partners the ability to bridge different, historically siloed practices within their organizations. Risk management and service management practices can be integrated with identity governance practices. That delivers a more streamlined engagement model to partners while simultaneously allowing their clients to benefit from cross-domain unification.

Clear Skye’s partners will further its efforts to simplify security and compliance for enterprise organizations and help customers gain more value from their Now platform investment.

“IGA on ServiceNow is the future,” Almeida said. “These partners are early movers, and they will also will have the opportunity to integrate other ServiceNow products.”
