Case Study: Trade Me achieves streamlined app access and reduced IT workload with Okta

Enabling a cloud-first security approach to unify identity for secure app access from anywhere

Trade Me, a growing company focused on innovation and flexible work, needed a secure cloud-first way to simplify access to applications for employees in the office and remotely. As its IT team balanced business needs with support, manual app integrations and password-related requests were creating bottlenecks, and the company wanted to improve identity security while keeping access easy.

Using Okta and its identity platform, Trade Me rolled out SSO for more than 100 apps in just two months, along with Okta Lifecycle Management and Okta Expression Language to automate onboarding, offboarding, and group assignments. The results included reduced IT workload, faster app access, improved onboarding for new hires, and stronger security, with pre-built integrations from the Okta Integration Network helping keep IT from becoming a bottleneck.
