The organization faced persistent challenges with identity lifecycle management. Multiple systems were in place, leading to inefficiencies and high operational costs. New employees often waited weeks to receive necessary access, delaying productivity. Previous IAM initiatives failed due to poor scalability and adoption. A comprehensive evaluation revealed the need for a unified, flexible solution that could meet the demands of a multi-cloud, multi-business environment.

What we were able to do with the OpenText IAM stack was cut down a three- to four-week wait to get new employee accounts, to provisioning their accounts two weeks before they even start, making them ready to go before they even step foot into the building. That right there was a huge risk reduction.
