Case Study: Danfoss achieves 83% faster onboarding with Saviynt Enterprise Identity Cloud

Award-Winning Deployment Achieves 83% Faster Onboarding

Danfoss, a 90‑year‑old Danish manufacturing and engineering company with operations in over 100 countries, needed to replace an aging on‑prem Identity Governance and Administration platform that was slow to manage, hard for users to navigate, and unable to scale for more than 45,000 identities. To automate joiner/mover/leaver processes, better manage contractors and privileged accounts, and improve analytics and compliance, Danfoss selected Saviynt’s Enterprise Identity Cloud.

Saviynt implemented a global, fully remote “big bang” migration with API integrations to HR and ITSM systems, automating onboarding, access requests, and certification workflows. The deployment reduced account creation from ~48 hours to eight hours (about 83% faster onboarding), secured 45,000 identities, automated 2,000 access requests, completed 2,900 campaigns, and earned industry recognition—demonstrating Saviynt’s measurable impact on speed, security, and operational efficiency.
