Evolveum's Innovations at Gartner IAM Summit 2026

Evolveum, a pioneering name in the landscape of identity governance and administration (IGA), recently made waves at the Gartner IAM Summit 2026 held in London. This event served as a platform for the company to showcase its leading open-source solution, midPoint, which is designed to streamline identity management and governance.

Tackling the Challenges of Application Onboarding

During the summit, Pavol Mederly, the Chief Product Officer of Evolveum, delivered an insightful presentation titled “The Hidden Cost of Slow Application Onboarding in IGA.” In his talk, he highlighted a critical pain point for many organizations: the lengthy and complicated process of integrating business applications into IGA platforms. To combat this issue, Evolveum introduced midPilot, an innovative AI-powered onboarding assistant integrated within midPoint.

MidPilot’s primary function is to automate the configuration and mapping processes, which not only accelerates deployment timelines but also significantly reduces the total cost of ownership for organizations. “The engagement at the event confirms that the market is exhausted by the complexity of application onboarding in IGA,” stated Mederly. This reinforces the necessity for scalable and rapid solutions in the field of identity security, particularly when leveraging the flexibility that open-source technologies afford.

A Shift Towards Open Source

The summit underscored a notable transition within the industry, revealing that organizations are increasingly moving away from proprietary IGA solutions. Concerns regarding digital sovereignty, including vendor lock-in, data residency issues, and the quest for transparency in critical identity security infrastructures, are prompting this shift. “We are seeing a fundamental change in how organizations evaluate identity security investments,” Mederly explained. He emphasized that sovereignty over identity infrastructure has evolved from a luxury to a strategic necessity.

Looking Forward: The 2nd Annual MidPoint Community Meetup

In light of the positive momentum generated from the summit, Evolveum is excited to announce the 2nd Annual MidPoint Community Meetup, scheduled to take place from May 12 to May 15, 2026, in beautiful Prague. This event will unite identity professionals with the Evolveum team and the larger midPoint community for a series of hands-on learning experiences.

Attendees of the meetup, regardless of their expertise level, can look forward to practical sessions covering various topics related to identity governance strategies, real-world midPoint deployments, and the latest developments, including midPilot. Mederly adds, “While the Gartner Summit allowed us to share the ‘why’ of modern IGA, our community meetup is where we show the ‘how’.”
