Case Study: Savola Foods achieves modern authentication and unified access for legacy apps with OneLogin

Savola Foods powers the engine of its business by adding modern authentication

Savola Foods, a major Middle East food manufacturer with about 4,000 users and brands across 50 countries, relied on a decades‑old on‑premises business suite that could not support modern authentication. Sensitive financial, HR and planning apps therefore lacked SSO/MFA, forcing IT into manual provisioning and deprovisioning and creating unreliable access for remote and factory workers—problems made worse by COVID‑19.

Savola implemented OneLogin by One Identity to bridge its legacy apps with on‑premises Active Directory, delivering cloud‑managed SSO and MFA without buying the suite vendor’s separate solution. The rollout centralized user management, automated provisioning/deprovisioning, strengthened Cisco VPN security (enabling 600 external VPN users), and gave IT a single portal to monitor access while paving the way to migrate additional apps.
