Sharad Shekhar, Principal and Imran Rana, Principal, both MERON, tell SJA about what makes the company’s physical identity and access management (PIAM) solution unique.

Can you tell me about MERON’s recently launched solutions?

MERON’s PIAM+ solution tackles the core challenges of legacy PIAM systems, such as limited functionality and scalability, integration difficulties and security vulnerabilities.

Built on a true microservices architecture, PIAM+ simplifies identity lifecycle management while boosting scalability and isolating security functions for enhanced protection.

With AI-driven Co-pilots, the solution enables real-time anomaly detection, provides further automation using derived intelligence and its built-in incident management application allows users to track and respond to security incidents efficiently.

Additionally, PIAM+ offers rapid deployment and seamless upgrades, reducing implementation times by at least half compared to traditional PIAM solutions.

MERON’s VIM solution is a next-generation system that provides a unique user experience to visitors, hosts and reception desks.

It integrates with all PACS, card systems and HR systems and enhances security by automating visitor access approvals and tracking.

It features robust workflows for pre-registration, badge printing and visitor notifications, streamlining the check-in process.

What makes MERON unique?

MERON’s PIAM+ platform integrates AI and data science to enhance security operations and the user experience.

Unlike traditional systems, PIAM+ offers flexibility and scalability with real-time identity management, advanced analytics and incident handling.

A key benefit is its ability to run continuously – whether on-prem or in the cloud – even during upgrades.

This streamlines workflows, keeps operations running without interruptions, allows for independent upgrades, improves efficiency and ensures data integrity.

What truly sets us apart is our dedication to our customers.

We don’t just deliver technology – we deliver solutions that solve real problems, improve operational efficiency and create lasting value.

At MERON, it’s all about providing the highest level of care, support and service to our clients.

What are the core values of MERON?

At MERON, our core values are rooted in innovation, integrity and an unwavering commitment to the customer.

With decades of deep domain experience, we’re not just evolving PIAM, we’re reinventing it.

By combining cutting-edge advancements in data science, AI and microservices architecture, we’ve created PIAM+, a next-generation solution that’s at least three times faster than legacy systems.

Our goal is simple: to provide a modern, powerful platform that delivers an exceptional user experience with 99.9% uptime, thanks to in-memory data structures, scalable microservices and unbreakable data pipelines.

What are the company’s plans for the next 12 months?

Over the next year, MERON plans to focus on expanding the reach and adoption of PIAM+ by attending key industry events and working with integrators to showcase its capabilities.

MERON will also continue to expand its cloud and on-premise offerings to meet the diverse needs of its customers while pushing for broader industry recognition as a leader in the PIAM space.

At MERON, we’re challenging the status quo. Our PIAM+ solution is designed to break free from the limitations of traditional systems.

It’s faster, more scalable and built to handle high transactional volumes without breaking down.

By leveraging AI, data science and microservices architecture, PIAM+ delivers better outcomes with less operational overhead.
