Case Study: Axel Springer achieves 15x more registrations and scalable CIAM with Ory

Axel Springer boosts registrations 15x with Ory

Axel Springer, a leading European media and technology company, faced significant challenges with its legacy, self-hosted identity and access management (IAM) system. The solution could not handle high-traffic events, leading to system disruptions, and required considerable effort to maintain security and implement new features. This prompted the company to seek a modern cloud-native solution to improve scalability, security, and operational efficiency, leading them to the vendor Ory.

Ory implemented its Ory Network solution, a cloud-native identity platform with an open-source foundation. This provided the necessary scalability and reliability, allowing development teams to focus on innovation rather than maintenance. The results were substantial, with the system remaining stable under extreme traffic and a more than 15x increase in registrations after implementing features like FedCM. Operational efficiency and team productivity also greatly increased.
