Case Study: Soul Machines achieves secure, scalable global growth with Okta

Soul Machines Humanizing AI interactions with life-like avatars

Soul Machines, the AI startup behind hyper-realistic digital people, faced the challenge of rapidly scaling from an R&D-heavy team to a global workforce while moving from on-premises systems to the cloud. As it expanded, it needed secure onboarding, tighter control over access to sensitive intellectual property, and seamless integration of critical business apps for communication, cloud provisioning, and sales. It turned to Okta for a centralized identity management solution.

Okta provided seamless app integration, automated access control, and secure information sharing to support Soul Machines’ distributed team. The results included faster employee onboarding, reduced friction around access management, and improved collaboration across the global workforce; the case also cites onboarding time dropping to 40 minutes or less, down from more than one day previously, and a 3x return on Okta Workflow automation costs through time saved from mundane tasks.
