Client Description

A considerable number of legacy IAM products were at their End of Service Life (EOSL).

The lack of a robust access management platform resulted in key challenges.

1. Lack of 24/7 support for highly critical environment
2. Millions of unmanaged accounts
3. Multiple audit systems
4. Limited scope to enhance IAM solution.
