Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Increases Security and Streamlines Provisioning

Tags:
database management

Overview Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University wanted to meet student and employee demands for online, self-service functionality - especially important given the university's geographically-dispersed locations and ensure identity management with a strong, scalable system to manage more than 70,000 accounts including students, employees, and contractors. The challenge was to replace a manual provisioning system and accelerate provisioning changes, which amount to about 1,000 per day throughout the university. The University worked with Mycroft Inc. to implement Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite to improve service and accelerate business processes, while enforcing tighter, automated access and management controls around sensitive data. It gained insight and control over who can access which systems.
