Considering an IGA Connector Vendor? Compare READI Before You Decide.
See how READI extends identity governance across Web, Win32, and legacy terminal applications, on a platform your team builds and owns.
The Governance Gap
The Hard Part Is Not the SaaS Apps. It Is Everything Else.
Modern SaaS applications are the easy case. The real governance gap lives in the applications without clean APIs: Win32 desktop software, mainframe and terminal systems, legacy ERP, and custom line-of-business tools. These are the systems that surface as audit findings, orphaned accounts, and slow access fulfillment.
86%
of enterprise applications may be ungoverned, invisible to native IGA compliance controls.
$25K–$100K
typical cost to build a single custom connector, with months per build.
~12 Hours
time to first READI connector, versus months of custom development.
One
platform for connectivity, automation, and governed access, not a single point tool.
Key Consideration
Both READI and an IGA Connector Vendor set out to close that gap. The difference is how much of it each one reaches, and what you get alongside the connection.

WHY READI
A Platform You Build On, Not a Single Agent.
Closing the disconnected application gap is not only about executing an action inside an app. It is about connecting the widest range of systems, cleaning the identity data before it reaches your IGA, and automating the work your team does today across scripts and spreadsheets. READI brings all of that together on one platform.
Smart Connector
Describe the workflow in plain language. READI's AI and computer vision learn the application UI, author the automation, and convert it into a governed, deterministic script. Proven across Web, Win32, and legacy terminal applications.
Connector Studio
Build connectors to any system using command-line, database, API, file-based, or custom DLL methods. PowerShell-extensible for complex transformations. Your IT team builds and owns it.
Bot Studio
A PowerShell-based enterprise automation engine that replaces the ungoverned scripts and manual steps already running your identity operations, with full audit trails on every action.
Access Studio
Deliver self-service access and delegated administration to business users without losing the audit trail. Governance guardrails built in, not bolted on.
