Case Study: University of Reading achieves faster access and automated identity governance with SailPoint Technologies

University of Reading Enhances the Academic Experience with Automated Identity Governance

The University of Reading, an international public university in England, faced a semi-manual identity program that created inconsistent, time-consuming access provisioning for students, guest users and staff. To streamline onboarding and offboarding and improve everyday access, the university set out to build a dynamic, automated identity program.

By deploying SailPoint’s identity platform and reducing reliance on legacy/homegrown systems, Reading cut time-to-access from four days to 24 hours, enabled immediate removal of access on termination, and introduced self-service password and profile management. The result was lower risk and a much improved IT experience for staff and students.
