## Honeywell Drives New Efficiencies Migrating to Ping’s Cloud

Davis Arora, senior director of cybersecurity at Honeywell, shares their migration story.

## Software vs. Ping SaaS: What You Gain

| KEY CONSIDERATIONS | SELF-MANAGED SOFTWARE | PING'S CLOUD IAM |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Upgrades & Patching | Manual, time-consuming | Always current — continuous updates, no patching required |
| Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) | IT overhead, strained bandwidth | Lower TCO — Ping manages infrastructure and maintenance |
| Innovation Access | Limited to major releases | New capabilities, continuous enhancements |
| Scalability | Capacity constrained | Dynamically meet growing demand |
| Availability & Resiliency | Dependent on internal infrastructure | Enterprise SLAs, global data centers, redundancy |
| Compliance & Regulations | Risk of lagging | Built-in compliance and regional data residency |
| Flexibility | Rigid legacy system | Seamless support for hybrid environments |
| Security | Patch cycles vary | Proactive monitoring, advanced threat intelligence |

## Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve helped some of the world’s largest enterprises move from software to SaaS. We’ve got answers to common questions about our cloud. Because your success is our priority.

### Will I lose the customizations I’ve built in my software deployment?

Our migration experts review your current environment, integrations, and workflows to ensure your custom configurations are preserved or modernized for SaaS. In many cases, SaaS unlocks new capabilities you can use instead of customizations.

### Can I still manage my identity journeys/workflows?

Absolutely. You have full control in designing and deploying your identity journeys. This allows you to innovate and bring differentiating identity experiences to your users.

### How long does a SaaS migration take?

The timeline depends on deployment size and complexity, but most enterprises complete migration in a phased approach over a few months. Planning ahead (ideally 3 quarters before renewals or support deadlines) helps ensure a smooth cutover.

### What if my organization requires data residency or strict compliance controls?

Ping SaaS offers multi-tenant, dedicated tenant, and hybrid SaaS options, plus regional data centers, so you can meet residency, compliance, and security requirements without compromise.

### How is SaaS more secure than self-managed software?

Ping delivers continuous updates, proactive threat monitoring, and enterprise-grade SLAs. This reduces your risk of falling behind on patching cycles and strengthens your defense against new attack vectors.

### Will migration disrupt my users or cause downtime?

We follow a phased migration model designed to minimize disruption. User communication, testing, and fallback plans are built into the process to ensure a seamless transition.

### What happens to my existing contract(s)?

We work with you to align migration timing with renewals and unify everything under a single SaaS agreement. This simplifies management and helps avoid unexpected costs.

### What support will I get during and after migration?

You’ll have a dedicated migration team plus ongoing enterprise support post-migration. Our experts guide you from assessment through optimization so you can confidently embrace SaaS.
