Technology Integrator Saves $1.2 Million Annually With Automatic Provisioning

Overview

One year after its inception in 2000, technology integrator Avanade faced significant financial and productivity challenges as a result of manually provisioning user identity information. To address these issues, Avanade developed a custom application that delivered automatic provisioning. However, by 2005, the company's continued global expansion sparked new identity management challenges. Rather than updating and continuing to support its custom provisioning application, the company deployed Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 to rapidly provision employee and contractor accounts, address security issues, and allow for easier integration of new systems.
