We’re moving on up in the world. Well, we’re going north. Today we announced the opening of our newest office in Seattle, WA. The fact that Microsoft’s based nearby isn’t a coincidence. In the past year, Microsoft has taken big steps towards driving adoption of cloud and mobile in the enterprise. They’ve placed a major bet on Office 365,…

It’s not every day that you’ll find Okta engineers talking about Polish flags in the name of a better user interface. But if you stopped by our HQ earlier this week, you may have seen the bold red and white stripes of Poland waving among our team.   Why?

From mandarin oranges to green beans, Del Monte Foods, one of the largest branded food producers in the world, has been synonymous with premium quality fruits and vegetables since the 1800s. Though the company’s biggest challenge is no longer organizing disparate associations of canners, Del Monte has new obstacles to overturn, many of which are…

A lot has changed since I joined Okta a little less than a year ago. We’ve doubled our customer base to 2,000+ enterprises, hosted Oktane14, our second annual customer summit, and announced a series of new offerings to securely connect more people, organizations, apps and devices.

Another year, another opportunity to set resolutions and vow to stick to them in the new year. That might mean signing up to volunteer more regularly, trying to get some value out of your gym membership or simply straightening up your finances.

It’s also already the most used application (measured by raw number of authentications) across our 2,000+…

In doing so, we needed a process that ensured and improved the quality of Okta Mobile. At the center of this process was test automation, which let us…

27 customer-lead sessions. 937 tweets about #Oktane14. Plus, the fire alarm only went off once -- and, as our co-founder and COO Frederic Kerrest joked, zero Okta employees were deprovisioned after our big customer celebration at the Exploratorium. On November 10-12, we welcomed more than 1,000 customers and partners to our second annual user…

When I presented my wife with a PowerPoint entitled, “Proposal to Move to a New Job Starting a New Company (Why I’m Not Crazy)” a little over five years ago, I started off by explaining how cloud computing was changing the face of the enterprise and disrupting the business of established vendors, creating huge opportunity for new companies. I told…

It’s the event that we work toward every year, and now it’s less than a week away. #Oktane14 is all set to kick off next week and we could not be more thrilled about speakers and events we have prepared for all those attending. Oktane14 is bound to be a jam-packed few days where you’ll be running from one thing to the next, so we want to ensure…
