TL;DR

SailPoint's new application onboarding capability helps customers expand Identity Security Cloud coverage to hundreds or thousands of enterprise applications through a discovery service and AI-powered recommendations.
The discovery service provides an active worksheet showing the complete application landscape, tracking onboarded applications and prioritizing the backlog to measure identity coverage progress.
AI-powered recommendations accelerate the onboarding process by reducing the subject matter expertise burden and enabling faster, more intelligent decisions at key workflow steps.
Future enhancements will infuse AI into additional onboarding steps and enable more participants in the process to scale horizontally across larger application volumes.

Discovery and Application Landscape Visibility

SailPoint's new application onboarding capability addresses a critical industry challenge: helping customers expand Identity Security Cloud coverage across hundreds or thousands of enterprise applications. The feature introduces a discovery service that provides visibility into an organization's complete application landscape, creating an active worksheet that tracks which applications have been onboarded and which remain in the backlog. This discovery capability enables customers to prioritize onboarding efforts, measure progress throughout the identity security lifecycle, and systematically expand their identity coverage. The discovery service remains relevant and effective throughout the entire application lifecycle, providing continuous visibility into identity security posture.

AI-Powered Recommendations for Faster Onboarding

SailPoint has integrated artificial intelligence into specific steps of the application onboarding process to accelerate time to value. The AI-powered recommendations help administrators make intelligent decisions during onboarding, reducing the subject matter expertise burden that traditionally slows down the process. Each application has unique nuances that require specialized knowledge, and when dealing with large volumes of applications, this expertise requirement becomes a significant bottleneck. By leveraging AI to provide intelligent recommendations at key decision points, SailPoint reduces administrative burden and enables faster, more confident onboarding decisions. The company plans to expand AI capabilities to additional steps in the onboarding workflow and enable more subject matter experts to participate in the process, allowing horizontal scaling to handle larger application volumes.
