Evolveum Highlights Integration Solutions at Gartner IAM Summit 2026 in London

Evolveum's Presentation at the Gartner IAM Summit 2026

On April 2, 2026, Evolveum, the company behind midPoint, a cutting-edge open-source Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform, delivered a transformative presentation at the Gartner Identity & Access Management (IAM) Summit held in London. Chief Product Officer Pavol Mederly highlighted pressing challenges faced by organizations regarding the integration of business applications into IGA systems, specifically emphasizing the lengthy and complex nature of this process.

Tackling Integration Challenges

Mederly's key presentation revolved around the theme, "The Hidden Costs of Slow Application Integration in IGA," where he shed light on the frustrations businesses experience due to inefficient onboarding processes for applications. To address this, Evolveum introduced midPilot, an integrated, AI-powered onboarding assistant within midPoint that automates configuration and mapping tasks. This innovative tool aims to reduce deployment time and lower overall operational costs, helping organizations achieve their identity security goals more effectively.

Mederly noted the overwhelming interest from attendees at the summit, stating, "The high level of engagement at the event reaffirmed that the market is fatigued with the complexity of application onboarding in IGA. MidPilot demonstrates that identity security can be both scalable and rapid when utilizing the flexibility afforded by open-source solutions."

Shift Towards Open-Source

The summit also underscored a notable market shift as companies are increasingly seeking alternatives to proprietary IGA solutions. Concerns regarding digital sovereignty—including vendor lock-in, data control, and the need for transparency in critical identity infrastructures—are driving this transition. According to Mederly, companies are reevaluating their investments in identity security. He stated, "Sovereignty over one’s identity infrastructure is no longer just a nice-to-have; it has become a strategic imperative."

Join the MidPoint Community Meetup

Building on this momentum, Evolveum invites the community to participate in the 2nd Annual MidPoint Community Meetup, scheduled to take place from May 12 to 15, 2026, in Prague. This event offers a platform for identity professionals, the MidPoint community, and the Evolveum team to come together for hands-on learning and knowledge sharing focused on identity governance strategies, real-world midPoint implementations, and the latest platform developments, including midPilot.

Mederly expressed enthusiasm for the meetup, stating, "While we discussed the 'why' of modern IGA at the Gartner Summit, our community meetup will reveal the 'how.'"
