Case Study: SWCC Showa Holdings achieves two-day employee transitions and streamlined identity management with NetIQ Identity Manager

SWCC Showa Holdings - Customer Case Study

SWCC Showa Holdings, a Japanese holding company overseeing businesses that develop and manufacture electrical cables, coils and systems, needed a unified identity and access management approach to share data and resources across its group. With frequent personnel transfers and new Active Directory–based authentication, the company faced security and administrative overhead when provisioning and deprovisioning users.

Working with Axio, SWCC implemented NetIQ Identity Manager to integrate personnel data, migrate user IDs and passwords, and manage roles and access rights through a single interface with SSO for core systems. The change cut post-transfer processing from about a month to two days, eliminated lingering stale accounts, simplified audits, and enabled near-seamless data sharing with little customization.
