Streamlining Identity and Access Management Post Acquisition

A large consumer goods company engaged Oxford Computer Group to streamline the Mergers & Acquisitions processes associated with identities for the companies they acquire.

This consumer goods company acquired a smaller manufacturing company, which continued to operate as an autonomous entity for several years. Operating autonomously with separate on-premises identity and email infrastructure led to difficulty and increased friction for users accessing applications hosted in the parent company’s tenant.

Collaboration and application access requirements led users at the acquired company to need three separate identities to perform their job functions. As part of the parent company’s digital transformation initiative, the acquired company needed to standardize on a single identity for collaboration and application access. They also needed to decrease the attack surface caused by multiple identities to help prevent phishing attacks -the most common form or security breaches.

Oxford Computer Group, a MajorKey Technologies Company, created and implemented a reusable template for standardizing on a single identity as this customer makes additional acquisitions. Now, they can quickly integrate new companies into their collaboration platform and grant access to existing applications and the applications of newly acquired companies.
