SailPoint, a leader in enterprise identity security, has introduced SailPoint Agentic Acceleration, a new AI-driven methodology designed to help organizations migrate from legacy on-premises identity systems to SailPoint Identity Security Cloud faster and more efficiently.
The solution aims to address one of the biggest challenges facing large enterprises: the complexity, cost, and time required to modernize identity infrastructure. By automating much of the migration process—including traditionally labor-intensive tasks such as translating legacy configurations, workflows, and policies—Agentic Acceleration helps organizations reduce deployment risks, shorten project timelines, and accelerate returns on cloud investments.
At the core of the offering is the SailPoint Virtual Architect, a purpose-built AI capability trained on two decades of SailPoint’s identity security expertise and thousands of enterprise deployments worldwide. Rather than relying on a traditional “lift-and-shift” migration approach, the Virtual Architect analyzes existing environments and converts them into a deployment-ready cloud foundation, significantly reducing manual effort.
One of the platform’s key advantages is its ability to provide organizations with visibility into how their current applications, workflows, and provisioning processes will function within SailPoint Identity Security Cloud before migration begins. This allows enterprises to validate compatibility, assess operational fit, and build stakeholder confidence ahead of deployment.
“SailPoint Agentic Acceleration is a paradigm shift for cloud adoption,” said Matt Mills, President of SailPoint. “We are not just offering an upgrade methodology; we are delivering a strategic business accelerant. By automating the foundational heavy lifting, we are removing the primary barriers of time, cost, and risk that have slowed enterprise transformation efforts. For our customers, this means realizing the value of their cloud investment almost instantly. For the market, it signals a new standard for identity security, one that delivers intelligence with greater speed and less complexity.”
SailPoint said the new service will be offered at no additional cost to customers upgrading from IdentityIQ or competing legacy identity management platforms to Identity Security Cloud through SailPoint’s forward-deployed engineering teams. The move reflects the company’s broader strategy of simplifying cloud migration while maximizing value for customers.
Beyond customer benefits, Agentic Acceleration is also expected to create new opportunities for SailPoint’s partner ecosystem. By automating the early stages of cloud modernization, partners can focus more quickly on addressing emerging security challenges associated with the rapid growth of AI agents and non-human identities within enterprise environments.
As organizations continue to expand their digital ecosystems, SailPoint believes adaptive, AI-powered identity security will play a critical role in protecting access to critical systems and data. The company’s platform is designed to provide intelligent, real-time identity governance based on contextual risk, helping enterprises strengthen security while supporting business agility.
SailPoint currently serves many of the world’s largest organizations, delivering identity security solutions built around principles such as zero-standing privilege, contextualized risk assessment, and autonomous access management. Through innovations like Agentic Acceleration, the company aims to further simplify cloud adoption and help enterprises modernize identity security for an increasingly AI-driven future.
