Introduction

Evolveum, a key player in the IGA (Identity Governance and Administration) sector, recently showcased its midPoint platform at the 2026 Gartner IAM Summit in London. The presentation highlighted the complexities organizations face in integrating business applications with IGA systems and the innovative solutions coming to the forefront of this ever-evolving landscape.

Addressing Challenges with IGA

During his presentation titled "The Hidden Costs of Slow IGA Application Integration," Evolveum's Product Director, Pavol Mederly, delved into a significant hurdle faced by many organizations—the time and resources necessary to connect various applications to IGA platforms. Mederly introduced midPilot, an advanced AI-powered integration assistant designed to automate the setup and mapping processes. By streamlining these tasks, midPilot significantly shortens implementation timelines and reduces the total cost of ownership, making IGA a more accessible solution for companies.

"The engagement at this event underscores the overwhelming complexity organizations encounter when integrating applications into IGA," stated Mederly. "Our innovation, midPilot, illustrates how identity security can be both scalable and quick, leveraging the flexibility that open-source solutions offer."

A Shift Toward Open-Source Solutions

The summit also shed light on a broader trend in the market, as organizations increasingly turn away from proprietary IGA solutions. This shift is largely motivated by concerns around digital sovereignty, which includes issues such as vendor lock-in, data residency, and the need for transparency in managing critical identity infrastructure. Mederly emphasized that organizations are reevaluating their identity security investments, recognizing that control over identity infrastructure is not merely a luxury but a strategic necessity in today's digital landscape.

"We are witnessing a fundamental change in how organizations assess their identity security investments," Mederly added. "Sovereignty over your identity infrastructure is now a strategic imperative rather than a mere preference."

Announcing the Second Annual MidPoint Community Meetup

Capitalizing on the momentum generated from the summit, Evolveum has announced the Second Annual MidPoint Community Meetup, scheduled for May 12-15, 2026, in Prague. This event will gather identity management professionals, the midPoint community, and Evolveum's team for hands-on learning experiences and knowledge sharing.

The meetup is designed to cater to attendees at all skill levels, featuring practical sessions on identity governance strategies, real-world implementations of midPoint, and insights into the platform's latest developments, including midPilot.

"While the Gartner Summit allowed us to discuss the 'why' of modern IGA, our community meetup will focus on the 'how'," Mederly said, showcasing the practical applications of their solutions.
