Case Study: European Automotive Manufacturing Company achieves secure, scalable identity management and self-service for thousands with NetIQ

Automotive Manufacturer Drives Security, Self-Service and Scalability with NetIQ

A northern European automotive manufacturer facing a corporate demerger and a subsequent acquisition had just 18 months to separate its IT systems and establish a secure identity architecture for thousands of internal and external users, including dealers, suppliers and partners. The company needed a single, flexible solution to replace multiple account-management systems and meet more than 350 use cases across hundreds of applications.

Working with Pulsen, the company deployed NetIQ Identity Manager and NetIQ Access Manager as a single point of control, integrating with SAP HR and PARMA to centralize master user records and automate role-based provisioning. The solution consolidated ten account systems into one, enabled self-service password reset and fast on/off boarding, now governs access to 300+ web apps, and cut administrative overhead while improving security, scalability and speed of application delivery.
