Case Study: Okta achieves telecom cost savings and operational efficiency with Lightyear

Okta cuts telecom spend by 20%+ with Lightyear

Okta, a global leader in identity and access management, faced significant challenges in managing its complex telecom infrastructure across six continents. With a lean team, their manual processes for ISP procurement, vendor management, and billing were inefficient and time-consuming. To address this, Okta turned to the vendor Lightyear and its Procurement platform to automate and streamline these operations.

By implementing Lightyear's software, Okta automated its procurement with data-driven RFPs and gained a transparent installation management system. The solution also consolidated billing and provided centralized network inventory visibility. Lightyear delivered substantial results, including over 20% cost savings on monthly telecom spend and more than 70% time savings on vendor management and invoice auditing, allowing Okta's team to focus on strategic engineering work.
