2023 Partner of the Year Awards from Ping Identity

2023 was an exciting year for Ping and the global identity community. Not only did Ping and ForgeRock come together as one company, but we also rolled out some amazing new products. While the combination of Ping and ForgeRock offers identity solutions for just about any need, our reach is expanded even further with our partner network. 

The Ping Identity Nexus Partner Program is made up of businesses from around the globe that share our vision of best-in-class enterprise identity solutions. While innovation will always be a foundational element of Ping, our global partners help get our technology into customers' hands. In the end, Ping Identity wouldn’t be where we are today without such strong brand advocates operating on the global stage. 

Whether it be through innovative go-to-market (GTM) strategies or notable year-over-year (YoY) growth, Ping’s Partner of the Year Awards go to those companies that meet and exceed goals, while also spreading our values in the process. 

For an amazing 6th year in a row, Ping is proud to present ProofID with the Delivery Partner of the Year Award. To maintain such an impressive streak, ProofID consistently delivers leading identity solutions that integrate Ping technology with their intellectual property (IP) and managed services. 

Looking back at 2023, ProofID completed 150 trainings and 100 certifications with Ping products. To make all this happen, ProofID dedicated over 8,000 subcontractor hours to integrating Ping technology with their own managed services! ProofID was also an important contributor to YOUniverse Americas 2023, where they showcased important CIAM solutions developed specifically for their customers. 

Optiv was recognized with the Americas Partner of the Year Award for the 3rd year in a row. This award is given to partner companies who promote Ping’s values for best-in-class identity solutions in the Americas, while also driving business growth. 

For their part in 2023, Optiv achieved the highest amount of partner-sourced annual recurring revenue (ARR) with sustained 122% YoY growth. The team at Optiv has been tenacious in building a sales pipeline and expanding Ping’s footprint in the Americas. In 2023, they completed 46 deal registrations and 38 partner certifications - including 28 DaVinci Badges.

iC Consult has the honor of winning Ping’s EMEA Partner of the Year Award in 2023. This award goes to those organizations that promote Ping’s standards of excellence in the EMEA region and contribute to sales growth. 

To win the EMEA Partner of the Year Award, the team at iC Consult achieved 200% YoY growth with Ping Identity and ForgeRock products. Due to these numbers, iC Consult leads the EMEA region in both training and certifications with Ping and ForgeRock platforms. In the end, iC Consult’s success comes down to its overwhelming strength of knowledge and skills from pre-sales through to delivery. iC Consult also had 10 team members in attendance at YOUniverse 2023 London, where the company also took part in a panel discussion. 

Recognized in 2022 as the International Partner of the Year, we are proud to announce that Versent has again made its way to the podium with the APJ Partner of the Year Award in 2023. Due to their innovative offerings and consistent business development efforts, this Australia-based company leads the APJ region. 

While Versent is based in Australia, this cloud solution provider has expanded its international footprint. Throughout 2023, Versent worked tirelessly to build Ping cloud integrations and promote our products in the field. Bringing in an impressive 63 certifications in 2023, it's no wonder that Versent is one of our most trusted partners in the APJ region. Versent also played a pivotal role in helping roll out Ping’s Cloud Acceleration toolset after YOUniverse 2023. 

Ping is thrilled to give BeyondTrust the 2023 Technology Alliance Partner of the Year Award. Since they are leaders in privileged access management, BeyondTrust technology blends seamlessly with Ping’s offerings. 

Focusing on the DaVinci platform, BeyondTrust was a top contributing partner in developing new and innovative integrations in 2023. This approach allows Ping customers and prospective clients to integrate the joint capabilities of each solution quickly, while also providing rapid time to value via simple configurations. By closely aligning sales teams, BeyondTrust introduced Ping into multiple customer accounts - thus allowing each team to position joint solutions. BeyondTrust also sponsored each Ping YOUniverse event that took place around the globe in 2023.

The 2023 GSI Partner of the Year Award goes to both Deloitte and Accenture. As leading business consultants and professional service companies, Deloitte and Accenture show forward-thinking initiatives that advance identity practices and vendor solutions for enterprise customers.
