Immediate Results, Lasting Impact
Start Seeing Value From Day One
Accelerate the time to production and deliver immediate value from day one with midPoint’s First Steps Methodology. Institutions can deploy quickly through a focused three-step process – connecting systems, cleaning up data, and automating the Joiner – Mover – Leaver processes. Plan your identity operations in advance using powerful simulations, reduce risk, and integrate effortlessly with systems like Microsoft 365, SIS, HR, and learning platforms.
Speed alone isn’t enough. True return on investment (ROI) comes from sustainable operations and predictable funding. That’s where our Academic Subscription makes a difference: no per-user licensing, no surprise fees – just one simple, institution-wide plan that includes students, staff, admissions, alumni, and temporary identities.
MidPoint brings it all together: fast deployment, complete identity coverage, and transparent pricing – so you get full control, operational efficiency, and ROI you can trust.
Automate, unburden, refocus
Free up Your Overstretched IT Teams
Manual identity operations shouldn’t consume your most valuable technical resources. Yet too often, IT teams are tied up managing accesses and creating accounts and group assignments individually – leaving little time for strategic work and innovation.
MidPoint automates these tasks with policy-based workflows, reducing the daily support load while ensuring consistency and security. Even complex group management is built in. It dynamically creates and maintains group memberships across all your systems, learning platforms, and research environments, without relying on scripts, bolt-on tools, or separate group management systems. Knowledge transfer is just as efficient. With thorough documentation and training resources, new team members can get up to speed faster.
Fewer tickets, faster staff onboarding, and a system that works, even when your team is stretched thin. MidPoint does the heavy lifting, so your people can focus on what really matters.
Future-ready identity, today
Replace Your Outdated Identity System with a Future-Ready Platform
Many higher education institutions still rely on legacy or homegrown identity systems that are often maintained by long-tenured staff nearing retirement. As institutional knowledge fades, the risk of errors, inefficiencies, and security gaps grows. MidPoint is a modern, flexible identity platform designed to adapt to your environment – not the other way around. With a rich library of open source connectors and deep integration capabilities, midPoint fits seamlessly into your existing infrastructure without forcing you to conform to a rigid, monolithic system.
It also automates the full identity lifecycle – from joiners to movers to leavers – using policy-driven workflows to ensure consistent, secure provisioning and deprovisioning without manual effort or brittle custom code. Built with maintainability in mind, midPoint is fully documented, transparent, and aligned with accessibility standards, ensuring it can be used effectively by everyone across your institution.
simplified and secure control
Handle Multi-Affiliated Accounts Seamlessly
Academic users often wear many hats: students who also work as teaching assistants, faculty balancing research and administrative duties, and staff participating in special programs. These multi-affiliations are common in higher education, but traditional identity systems struggle to keep up, resulting in outdated permissions, security risks, and costly manual corrections.
MidPoint is purpose-built to handle the complexity of academic identity lifecycles. With dynamic role mining, flexible assignment logic, and policy-driven access control, it automatically adapts to each user’s changing responsibilities, ensuring the right access at the right time, across all systems.
No more manual updates, guesswork, or access creep. MidPoint keeps your identity data in sync with the real-world structure of your institution securely, efficiently, and in real time.
Empower users, ease IT workloads
Put Routine Identity Tasks Back in Users’ Hands
IT help desks in higher education are overwhelmed by routine identity tasks that clog queues and pull skilled staff into repetitive work.
MidPoint provides secure, intuitive self-service. End users – whether students, faculty, alumni, or parents – can reset passwords, recover their identity, update profiles, and request access independently to deliver a smoother experience while reducing wait times and supporting dependency. Automation removes manual bottlenecks, freeing IT teams to focus on more strategic priorities while maintaining full oversight and control.
