Case Study: Salling Group achieves faster onboarding and scalable cloud IAM with SailPoint Technologies

Salling Group’s Cloud IAM Journey 6 Weeks, Big Lessons

Salling Group, a leading European retail group with 60,000+ employees, needed to replace a legacy IAM system that was struggling with compliance requirements and couldn’t support rapid growth plans, including 300 new stores and 40,000 additional employees. The company chose SailPoint Technologies and SailPoint Identity Security Cloud to modernize identity and access management and move away from technical debt.

Salling Group and SailPoint Technologies implemented the cloud-based solution in just six weeks, using a minimum viable product approach and integrating with SAP SuccessFactors HCM Suite. The result was faster, more scalable identity governance: onboarding time dropped from 3–4 days to 5–15 minutes, and the company now manages 66,000+ entitlements for 60,000+ employees and nearly 2,000 roles.
