Case Study: SBA Communications saves $50K/year and streamlines identity and mobile device management with Delinea

SBA Communications replaces Microsoft AD FS, forgoes Cisco’s Meraki MDM solution for Centrify Identity Service

SBA Communications, a leading independent owner and operator of wireless infrastructure, struggled with a costly and hard-to-manage identity environment after deploying Microsoft AD FS to support growing SaaS adoption. Integration and migration proved time-consuming, leaving the company running two AD FS instances and facing expensive disaster-recovery, mobile device management (MDM) and SOX compliance challenges.

SBA replaced AD FS with Centrify Identity Service and declined Cisco Meraki for MDM, gaining built-in MDM, faster app integrations, improved redundancy and remote wipe capabilities. The move freed IT resources, reinforced SOX controls and saved an estimated $50,000 a year by avoiding additional AD FS build-out and a separate MDM solution.
