Case Study: Large Aerospace Organization achieves scalable automated unstructured data management and secure access for 20,000 users with OpenText NetIQ Data Access Governance

NetIQ Data Access Governance automates unstructured data management and secure data access for 20,000 users

A large U.S. aerospace organization with nearly 20,000 users faced the challenge of managing and securing billions of unstructured files spread across multiple global data centers to meet escalating reporting, regulatory and data‑security requirements.

The company implemented NetIQ Data Access Governance integrated with NetIQ Identity Manager (leveraging Active Directory), using File Reporter to inventory and analyze permissions and File Dynamics to automate lifecycle and access policies. The deployment automated identity‑driven workflows and provisioning, improved reporting and compliance, scaled to cover 20,000 users and billions of files, and delivered ongoing enhancements (including planned legal‑hold automation) through collaboration with OpenText R&D.
