Tehama, as it’s being called, is a SaaS platform aimed at enterprise clients that rely on numerous freelancers, remote workers and third-party vendors. Integrating these external employees into a company’s internal framework can be time-consuming, costly and open companies up to security concerns.
“Institutions are struggling with how to balance security, access risks, governance and compliance when computing resources – or human resources – are not on premise,” Tehama senior vice-president Gene Villeneuve said in a statement.

The company says its solution can help companies better manage growing networks of vendors and consultants as it scales operations globally.
Tehama’s official launch will be on Sept. 12 at an event in New York City.
