Case Study: Canon achieves enterprise-wide single sign-on for 18,000+ users with Ping Identity (PingFederate)

Canon streamlines access with enterprise-wide single sign-on

Canon Europe, a subsidiary of Canon Inc. with roughly 18,000 employees and partners across EMEA, needed to simplify and secure access to about 15 disparate line-of-business applications as part of its Unity digital transformation. The company required a federated identity and enterprise-wide single sign-on solution that would integrate with legacy systems like Oracle E-Business Suite and meet Sarbanes‑Oxley compliance and auditing requirements.

Canon selected PingFederate to provide standards-based identity federation, adapters for legacy and SaaS apps, and policy-driven adaptive authentication for centralized control. The implementation gives 18,000+ users secure SSO from any device, reduced login-related helpdesk calls, better admin controls and transparency, and compliance support without disruption to business operations.
