Case Study: a leading retail and wholesale pharmacy brand achieves 50% reduction in identity verification efforts with Persistent Systems and Saviynt

Accelerating legacy identity governance platform migration for a leading global retail pharmacy in the US

A leading retail and wholesale pharmacy brand, the second-largest pharmacy store chain in the US, faced challenges with its legacy Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solution. The company needed to migrate to a modern identity governance platform to create a single identity source and accelerate its zero trust strategy, all while ensuring minimal disruption. They partnered with Persistent Systems to execute this complex migration seamlessly.

Persistent Systems implemented a co-existence strategy for the legacy system and the new Saviynt platform. Using their proprietary Unity Governance automation framework, Persistent accelerated the migration of over 200,000 users and 20+ applications. This technology-driven approach reduced the client's identity verification efforts by 50% and cut migration time and cost by 40%, all achieved with minimal business disruption.
