Developing a more predictable, automated and governed access environment for a global leader in food and beverage distribution, with multiple operating companies, serving hundreds of thousands of customer locations to scale more effectively.
This global distribution network operates in a uniquely complex environment, with multiple business units - each running its own systems, workforce models, and regional requirements - and thousands of employees joining, shifting roles, or relocating across corporate, logistics, and field positions throughout the year.
This diversity created challenges common to large, distributed enterprises: ensuring consistent identity lifecycle management across business units, aligning permissions to real job functions despite widely varying role structures, providing reliable automated provisioning without disrupting daily operations, establishing clear entitlement visibility for governance and audit needs, and supporting both information workers and non-information workers with appropriate, timely access.
Working collaboratively with leaders across IT, operations, and security, we developed and implemented a unified identity and governance approach tailored to the realities of a multi–business-unit enterprise, focusing on clarifying and rationalizing the permission model, implementing scalable role-based access structures, automating identity lifecycle processes to reduce manual workload, enhancing connectors to improve reliability across key systems, and introducing governance capabilities that increased visibility and reduced audit effort.
Through this approach, the organization gained a stronger, more transparent identity foundation that supports both current operations and future expansion - resulting in a more automated, predictable, and governed access environment that enables the business to operate efficiently at scale.
Your identity environment will get more complex - more systems, more users, more risk, more scrutiny.
