Challenges
When Tony Casciotta, CIO and VP of IT at Broward College, decided to start the search for a new access management platform, he knew that it had to provide key functionalities, including provisioning and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), self-service password reset, Single Sign-On (SSO), and seamless Workday integration. The previous solution relied on Active Directory (AD) and required them to do all of the provisionings manually and use Microsoft AD to create security profiles for their students. Not only were these processes extremely manual and high-touch for their IT Teams, but they were also error-prone, outdated, and inefficient.
OneLogin is a great product supported by a great team! From sales, to implementation, and then to post go-live support, I would rate them a “10” across the board.
Solutions
From a security standpoint, Broward College needed a new platform that was reliable, secure, and easy to deploy to all of its users, over three quarters of a million of them. Once Casciotta and his team reviewed OneLogin, they found all the key functionalities they required. These included an SSO portal, password management, multifactor authentication (MFA) and a partnership with Workday. The capabilities, speed to deploy, and user experience made OneLogin their ideal solution.Benefits
- End-to-end provisioning and deprovisioning capabilities
- Implemented Multi-Factor Authentication to protect sensitive data
- One source of truth for all applications and users
The Story
After deploying OneLogin, Broward College faculty, staff, alumni, and students all began seeing the benefits of their new access management solution. They were incredibly satisfied with the results from OneLogin’s single sign-on portal. Broward College users only have to enter one set of credentials to access all their web apps in the cloud and behind the firewall. This has greatly increased productivity for all while keeping data secure. On top of that, OneLogin’s policy-driven password security and MFA have ensured that only authorized users get access to sensitive applications. Casciotta reflects on the implementation and adoption process, “the OneLogin product was simple to install and integrate into our environment while proving a sophisticated, secure solution with an easy-to-use interface. Our staff and students have adopted it without any difficulty.”
Looking ahead, Casciotta is excited for the future of OneLogin, “we are in the process of migrating away from a legacy to the cloud. That way, our students will be able to login to the old and new system through the OneLogin portal.”
