Our mission is to provide a secure and efficient identity management solution that adapts to the needs of educational institutions and businesses alike.
Our vision is to be the leading provider of innovative access management solutions, specifically tailored to empower educational institutions and organizations to manage digital identities with ease and confidence.
Navigate gives you full ownership of your system and data. This is in stark contrast to many commercial solutions that put you “on rails,” forcing you to conform to their predefined processes. Navigate’s flexibility allows you to customize and control your identity management environment, ensuring it aligns with your institution’s specific needs.
Commercial solutions typically handle person matching using one or two attributes. Navigate Identity is flexible and gives you numerous matching options and rules when dealing with multiple sources of truth / inbound authoritative data sources. Navigate Identity can provide fuzzy matching
Commercial solutions can impose strict limits on identifiers and often require additional tools to manage deduplication and other identity-related tasks. With Navigate Identity, you have a powerful solution that can address these limitations head-on, allowing you to manage identities more effectively without conforming to restrictive commercial standards. This approach not only improves efficiency but also helps control costs, as the per-user pricing of a commercial solution can quickly add up.
For institutions seeking a seamless single sign-on (SSO) experience, Navigate Identity can delegate IdP to Entra ID, providing a unified login experience across platforms. This is particularly beneficial for universities already handling password resets through Entra or using Microsoft hardware. The flexibility of midPoint allows you to decide whether passwords are managed within midPoint or entirely through Entra/AD, accommodating a variety of institutional preferences and technical environments.
Higher education institutions often rely on legacy systems that require careful integration. Navigate is designed to work seamlessly with existing technologies, ensuring that institutions can modernize their IAM infrastructure without losing access to critical legacy applications. In contrast, solutions like Okta and Entra ID often lack the flexibility needed to support these legacy systems, making it difficult to transition.
Many higher education institutions implement different permission models based on their unique organizational structures. Navigate is flexible enough to support these varied models, whereas Okta and Entra ID may not provide the necessary adaptability for all educational contexts.
Commercial products often have hidden fees for integrating with your supporting identity software solutions, such as your MFA provider or current SSO solution. With Navigate, you are not limited nor charged anything extra to use your supporting identity software solutions. This transparency and freedom ensure that you can maintain full control over your identity management environment without unexpected costs.
Navigate leverages open-source technologies, including Shibboleth, midPoint, and Grouper, providing institutions with the ability to customize and adapt the solution as their needs evolve. This contrasts with proprietary solutions like Okta, Entra ID, and Fischer, which may limit customization options
Unicon offers 24x7 expert assistance with guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs). This level of support is crucial for institutions that may lack the in-house expertise to manage complex IAM systems. Navigate ensures that institutions can focus on their core educational missions while Unicon handles maintenance and technical risks.
Navigate includes robust security features that safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. This is essential for educational institutions that must protect both user information and institutional data.
