In filmmaking, some of the most powerful storytelling happens before an actor ever speaks a word.

For Los Angeles–based Art Department professional Angelica Figueroa, creating those visual worlds has …

When Ping Identity acquired ForgeRock, it created one of the broadest identity platforms on the market. It also created a new challenge for enterprises: finding delivery partners who genuinely understand both sides of the combined portfolio. That need is exactly what prompted ProofID and Midships to form a strategic collaboration, announced on 7 November 2024 from Manchester and Singapore. Two Specialists, One Combined Capability ProofID is an identity security specialist that designs, delivers and manages IAM and IGA services for enterprises around the world. Midships is a consultancy focused on Customer Identity and Access Management and fraud prevention, with a strong presence across Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and the UK. Each firm is recognised as a leading Ping Identity partner in its own right. By working together, they now offer customers end-to-end support across the full Ping Identity stack, covering solution architecture, deployment, integration and ongoing managed services. For organisations with multi-region or multi-product identity estates, that means one coordinated team rather than several separate integrators with different levels of product knowledge. Closing the Gap Between Ping Identity and ForgeRock Many enterprises now run a blend of Ping Identity and ForgeRock technologies, whether through existing investments, mergers or phased migrations. Integrating them smoothly takes deep familiarity with how each platform works. A core aim of the collaboration is to accelerate that integration. The two companies are combining their product expertise and delivery experience to build advanced tooling and automation in two key areas. The first is software to SaaS migration, helping customers move from self-managed deployments to cloud services with less effort and risk. The second is deployment itself, using automation to make identity rollouts faster and more consistent. A Proven Joint Solution: The PingFederate MFA Accelerator The partnership was not starting from scratch. Before the announcement, ProofID and Midships had already jointly built the PingFederate MFA Accelerator. This solution automates the deployment and integration of Ping Identity and ForgeRock components, and in doing so gives existing PingFederate customers an on-premises Multi-Factor Authentication option that was not previously available to them. For organisations that must keep authentication infrastructure inside their own environments, often for regulatory or data residency reasons, this filled a meaningful gap and demonstrated what the two teams could achieve together. Aligned With Ping Identity’s Direction Ping Identity continues to invest in delivering strong solutions across its expanded ecosystem. The ProofID and Midships collaboration supports that direction by helping global clients get value from the combined platform more quickly and with fewer delivery hurdles. Leadership Perspectives Tom Eggleston, CEO of ProofID, said he was very excited about the two leading specialist Ping Identity service partners joining forces. In his view, the ForgeRock acquisition means global customers now need integrators with expertise spanning the whole combined software suite, and the collaboration makes that expertise available immediately. He also emphasised that the arrangement lets both companies work together to serve customers well while supporting Ping Identity’s position at the front of the enterprise IAM and CIAM markets. Ajit Gupta, CEO of Midships, said the company was delighted to be partnering with ProofID. He pointed out that the collaboration allows Midships to offer its ForgeRock accelerators and know-how on a global scale, reaching beyond its established markets. He added that Midships customers in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and the UK would gain access to ProofID’s Ping expertise, and that the partners aim to create new offerings that bring together the best of Ping and ForgeRock. About ProofID ProofID is a global identity security partner, integrator and service provider focused on delivering secure, frictionless digital experiences for projects of any complexity. Tier-1 enterprises and mid-market organisations trust the company to design, deliver and manage IAM and IGA services, and it has implemented leading identity technologies across every sector, supporting both workforce and customer identity needs. ProofID holds the top technical accreditations from each of its technology partners. As a long-established Ping Identity partner, it has been named Global Delivery Partner of the Year for six years running, and it also holds SailPoint Delivery Admiral (SaaS) status. About Midships Midships is a CIAM and fraud prevention consultancy and has been an accredited Ping Identity (ForgeRock) partner since 2018. Its recognitions include ForgeRock APAC Best Systems Integrator for 2022/23, a nomination for Best Global Integrator in 2023/24 and Ping’s Delivery Excellence award for Asia Pacific in 2024. The company’s expertise spans PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud services, fraud prevention, Kubernetes-based containerisation and DevSecOps. Its certified delivery team concentrates on business outcomes and zero-downtime identity deployments, supported by accelerators that reduce time to value and fully automate CIAM rollouts to on-premises and SaaS environments. Its fraud prevention solutions are proven to identify scams and money mule activity in real time.

Breakfast can feel rushed before anyone switches on the kettle. Opening cupboards, debating what to make, and searching for a clean container all compete with getting out of the house. A workable routine starts with a few familiar combinations that suit your actual mornings. When looking for ideas on Yemek Tarif, consider the equipment you have time to use and whether breakfast will happen at the table or travel with you. Keep a Small Rotation Choose several breakfast formats instead of planning a different recipe every day. You might alternate a filled roll, one warm skillet dish, and a plate of bread, cheese, and vegetables. Ingredients can overlap without making every morning identical. Cheese belongs inside Tuesday’s sandwich and beside Friday’s sliced tomatoes. The useful question when browsing breakfast recipes is how much hands-on work each option involves. A short ingredient list can still require grating, chopping, and several bowls. Read the method before deciding that a dish fits a busy morning. Keep the more involved choices for days when you can enjoy making them. Prepare the Setup, Then the Food Knowing where the plates, mugs, and containers belong removes some unnecessary movement around the kitchen. Group the dry ingredients you use together, and decide which pan you need before starting. These small preparations are useful even when the food itself cannot be assembled ahead. Include cleanup in your choice of routine. A breakfast that cooks quickly but leaves a grater, blender, and three bowls to wash may save little time. Texture deserves a place in the plan. Cut tomatoes may release water, while a filled piece of bread can soften as it waits. Preparing equipment and choosing ingredients the evening before is different from finishing the whole meal. Leave delicate assembly until it makes sense for the dish, and follow appropriate storage instructions for anything prepared earlier. Make One Thing Hot A warm breakfast need not involve several pans. Choose one cooked element and serve it with accompaniments that require little attention. When exploring egg dishes, consider portions and pan size as carefully as flavor. Doubling a recipe does not necessarily mean everything will fit comfortably in the pan you usually use. Let that warm dish set the pace. Put plates out and arrange the cold accompaniments before concentrating on the stove. If a family member prefers a particular topping, serve it separately instead of making another complete version. A little flexibility at the table can prevent extra cooking and washing up. Allow for Different Departure Times A large shared spread is less useful when everyone leaves at a different hour. Smaller individual servings let people put breakfast together without waiting for the whole table. Keep the choices manageable so that getting food out does not become a task in itself. For mornings away from home, choose the container before choosing the filling. A loose, juicy mixture that works on a plate may be awkward inside a roll. Pack components separately where needed, and account for their storage needs during the journey. After a week, remove the options that repeatedly go uneaten and keep the combinations people actually use.
