Case Study: Wayne State University achieves stronger data protection and faster provisioning with One Identity Manager

Simplifying and improving data protection and access

Wayne State University, a research institution in Detroit with more than 27,000 students and 9,000 employees, needed to protect sensitive student and staff data while complying with HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA and SOX. Facing slow, complex identity workflows and the need to provision and deprovision users quickly to support growth, the university replaced its previous IAM platform with One Identity’s solution, deploying One Identity Manager (with support from Immersion Technologies) to simplify access and governance.

By implementing One Identity Manager, Wayne State improved data protection and tightened control over identities and application access, while speeding user provisioning and deprovisioning. One Identity’s solution reduced IT issues and downtime, increased staff efficiency, and made IAM simpler to scale—delivering measurable gains in security, operational speed, and overall IT simplicity.
