Applied Materials Secures Global Mobile Productivity with Ping

Challenge

Applied Materials struggled to provide strong, secure authentication for mobile solutions. They needed a way to bridge existing infrastructure with future mobile SSO requirements without compromising user experience.

Results

With Ping, Applied Materials achieved seamless integration across mobile management and directory systems. Employees now transition between apps without re-authentication, balancing high security with peak productivity.

Objective

Applied Materials, the leader in materials engineering, aimed to modernize its authentication proviecosystem. The primary goal was to implement a secure, robust mobile SSO solution that ded the same high-quality experience on mobile devices as employees received on desktops and laptops.

Challenge

Before partnering with Ping, providing secure and strong authentication on mobile platforms was a significant hurdle. The company lacked a solution that could effectively bridge their current technical environment with their vision for the future, leading to potential friction in mobile workflows and complex federation needs.

Solution

Applied Materials implemented Ping Identity to serve as a critical component of its authentication ecosystem. By leveraging Ping’s expertise in complex federation and seamless integration, the company unified its mobile management, directory, and collaboration systems to create a background-authenticated environment.

Results

The transition to Ping Identity has empowered Applied Materials to grant the right people the right access instantly. By moving authentication to the background, the company eliminated repetitive login prompts, allowing users to move between apps seamlessly. This innovation has successfully delivered security and productivity in a single package, ensuring a superior end-user experience worldwide.

Ping is a critical part of our authentication ecosystem. It helps us achieve complex federation and helps us achieve access and identity where we need it the most.
