Case Study: Mass Media Group reduces certificate deployment time by up to 70% with AppViewX CERT+

Media Giant Reduces Certificate Deployment Time by Up To 70 percent

Mass Media Group, the world’s largest mass media company, was struggling with a slow, manual certificate management process for ADC devices. Procurement and administrative services teams relied on spreadsheets, separate approvals, and manual CSR handling, which caused errors, inefficiencies, and even outages from missed renewals or expirations. AppViewX CERT+ was used to address these challenges.

AppViewX automated the full certificate lifecycle with CERT+, integrating internal and external certificate authorities, replacing spreadsheets with inventory tracking, and adding role-based access and alerting for renewals. As a result, Mass Media Group cut resources needed per certificate deployment by 83%, reduced certificate issuance and installation time by 60–70%, and lowered manual documentation and validation time by 70%.
