Identity Governance Case Studies

IAV Streamlines Identity Management for 7,000+ Employees

From Homegrown to Standard Tool

IAV found themselves struggling with a homegrown identity and access management (IAM) solution. Their legacy system lacked crucial connections to essential systems, creating a web of manual processes for onboarding, offboarding, and managing access changes. This inefficiency not only burdened the IT department but also hampered security and compliance efforts.

Recognizing the need for a modern Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solution, IAV sought a platform that could streamline workflows, automate tasks, and provide robust security features. Omada Identity emerged as the best choice, boasting a wide range of pre-built connectors and the ability to handle complex access controls. With Omada, IAV envisioned a future of streamlined identity management, improved security, and a significant reduction in IT workload.

Omada Identity transformed IAV’s identity management landscape, delivering the following benefits:

  1. Simplified onboarding, offboarding, and transfers
  2. Automated provisioning and de-provisioning
  3. Improved security and compliance
  4. Reduced IT workload

“We now have the ability to provide heads of departments or team leaders with specific reports on their employees and their access permissions, which was not possible before. The manual overhead from an IT perspective is practically nonexistent now unless we need to deploy another report. Previously, when we didn’t have it at all, the IT workload perspective was at 100 percent. Currently, I would estimate it to be around five percent.”

– Marc Plagge, IAM Product Owner at IAV.

By implementing Omada Identity, IAV achieved significant improvements in their identity management program and achieved the following results:

  1. Faster Time to Value: Streamlined onboarding processes mean new hires can access the resources they need quicker, reducing delays and improving productivity.
  2. Empowering IT by significantly reducing workloads: Omada Identity has significantly reduced IAV’s workload in the area of identity management, giving IT staff more time for higher-level initiatives and strategic security improvements
  3. Confidence in Compliance: Automated access reviews ensure user permissions stay aligned with current roles, simplifying audits and reducing compliance risks.
  4. Data-Driven Security Decisions: Robust reporting empowers IAV to identify potential security risks and make informed decisions about access control, proactively safeguarding critical data.
  5. Potential Cost Savings: Automation minimizes manual tasks and the potential for security incidents, leading to a reduction in overall IT costs.
  6. Ongoing Partnership: IAV leverages Omada’s ongoing support and expertise to ensure a future-proof identity management solution that can adapt to their evolving needs.

This case study showcases how Omada Identity empowers global engineering companies like IAV to achieve efficient, secure, and compliant identity management.
