Case Study: Gordon Food Service achieves enterprise-scale identity governance and accelerated compliance with Saviynt IGA

Modernizing Identity Governance & Accelerating Compliance Maturity

Gordon Food Service, the largest family‑operated broadline food distributor in North America, faced a fragmented identity landscape as it moved to a cloud ERP and prepared for growth. Reliant on a patchwork of three legacy on‑premises identity management systems, the company had visibility gaps, inconsistent access, and difficulty integrating new applications—challenges addressed by Saviynt’s cloud‑native IGA solution.

Saviynt implemented its identity governance and administration (IGA) platform to manage lifecycles for over 80,000 users across more than 250 applications and 21 connected systems, enabling a single source of truth and role‑based access. As a result, Gordon Food Service achieved centralized identity visibility, automated compliance and attestations, faster access fulfillment, improved onboarding/offboarding, and reduced entitlement sprawl and orphaned accounts—laying a strong foundation for future growth.
