Automotive Manufacturing Industry
Corporate Spin-Off Identity Unification
A global truck manufacturing titan with 2,000+ locations and sales in 100+ countries unified 500,000 identities during a major corporate spin-off.
A Titan of the Automotive Industry
With over 2,000 locations and sales in more than 100 countries, this company is one of the among the largest producers of commercial trucks. Their headquarters are in the United States, but approximately 50% of revenue and profit are generated abroad.
The Challenge

- No centralized IT and IAM—every country had its own processes
- 5,000+ on-premise and cloud applications managed in distributed manner
- Extremely cost-intensive, time-consuming—reduced productivity
- Corporate spin-off complexity requiring unified identity strategy
- Global Portal on end-of-life platforms requiring complete replacement
Platform Requirements
