Clear Skye Earns 2021 BIG Innovation Award from the Business Intelligence Group

Company Honored for Pioneering its Cloud-Delivered IGA Solution that Improves Identity Governance, Simplifies Security and Eliminates Need for Siloed and Complex IGA Solutions

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clear Skye® Inc., the “Better Way to IGA” identity company, today announced that it has won a 2021 BIG Innovation Award, presented by the Business Intelligence Group.

“More than ever, the global society relies on innovation to help progress humanity and make our lives more productive, healthy and comfortable,” said Maria Jimenez, chief operating officer of the Business Intelligence Group. “We are thrilled to be honoring Clear Skye, as they are one of the organizations leading this charge and helping humanity progress.”

Clear Skye is executing on its bold vision of simplifying security by delivering a cost-effective solution for today’s Identity Governance challenges. Clear Skye Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) is the only IGA solution built natively on the ServiceNow Now Platform, and as a result uniquely removes friction from business processes related to governing application access. Organizations can greatly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of IGA programs while leveraging and extending their investment in the ServiceNow Now Platform. Clear Skye IGA delivers the critical IGA capabilities of Identity Lifecycle Management, Access Review, Access Certification, and Audit-Focused Analytics without the overhead of standing up another new software silo requiring integration.

Organizations from across the globe submitted their recent innovations for consideration in the BIG Innovation Awards. Nominations were then judged by a select group of business leaders and executives who volunteer their time and expertise to score submissions.

“We are pleased to start the New Year winning the BIG Innovation Award, following Clear Skye’s impressive year of growth, customer acquisition and industry recognition in 2020,” said John Milburn, Clear Skye CEO. “Clear Skye is uniquely addressing the growing demand for more effective security that is better aligned with broader modernization efforts. Having Clear Skye IGA native to the Now Platform unlocks incredible synergy with other key IT services, amplifying the investment in ServiceNow as a strategic platform and streamlining security workflows across IGA, ITSM, SecOps, and HR.”

While legacy IGA technologies require the addition of another complicated silo to be managed, Clear Skye IGA integrates simply as an additional business process automated by the Now Platform. By providing Provisioning, Access Request, Access Review and Analytics on the Now Platform, Clear Skye customers gain significant efficiencies in the way their IGA programs operate. Additionally, Clear Skye IGA leverages the benefits delivered by other solutions on the Now Platform, such as Configuration Management Database (CMDB); Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC); and Security Operations.
