Case Study: Element Solutions achieves automated, streamlined access reviews and cuts review time from days to hours with SailPoint Technologies

How Element Solutions Automated and Streamlined its Access Review Process

Element Solutions, a global specialty chemicals company, faced a time‑consuming access review challenge: a three‑person team manually ran bi‑annual SAP access reviews for three production systems to meet SOX and Segregation of Duties requirements. The process relied on spreadsheets, macros and email routing, taking 24–32 hours per system and diverting the team from other compliance work.

Partnering with SailPoint, Element automated the end‑to‑end review process using the SailPoint Identity Platform. Review setup now takes about one hour, responses and delegation are automated, and tasks that once took days are completed in hours or less. The streamlined workflow, admin dashboard and automated notifications freed the team to focus on higher‑value work.
