Case Study: Virgin Media O2 achieves unified identity management and stronger security with Okta

Virgin Media O2 consolidates 32 Identity management providers into one with Okta

Virgin Media O2, formed by the merger of Virgin Media and O2, needed to unify a fragmented identity environment made up of 32 separate identity management providers. The telecom company turned to Okta to simplify access, support a complex merger, and improve security and compliance across employees and systems.

Okta implemented a single identity platform using Okta Workforce Identity, Okta Identity Governance, Okta Single Sign-On, and Okta FastPass to centralize identity, automate lifecycle management, and enable passwordless access. The result was near-instant new-employee access instead of a two-week process, stronger compliance and least-privilege controls, and improved productivity and efficiency for Virgin Media O2.
