Get to know the client & their business challenges!
Our client is the world’s leading Clinical Research Organization (CRO), offering clinical development and integrated consulting expertise at optimal cost. They aim at shaping next-generation therapies by leveraging real-world insights.
The client has implemented NetIQ solutions for its employee identity management. Initially, their identity management team leveraged NetIQ 3.6 version. Later, Microfocus began deprecating features in 3.6 and the product line was nearing end-of-life (EOL) support. Our client has implemented the latest version of NetIQ 4.8 to manage their upcoming primary business applications.
Due to distinct versions of IDM systems, they experienced roadblocks and increasing operational costs. They couldn’t directly migrate their application drivers from NetIQ 3.6 to NetIQ 4.8.
They were in search of identity experts who can transform their complete IDM system into NetIQ 4.8 and establish a single source of truth!
