Pomona- SAP NetWeaver Identity Management
“A chosen partner mastering technology and knowing how to adapt it to a complex environment while perfectly catering to our functional requirements.” Thierry Rousseau, Director, Infrastructure and Services, Pomona
Since its inception in 1912, Pomona, a food transport company, has known how to diversify its activities and capture opportunities in new markets, particularly via an external growth strategy.
Challenges
As Pomona grew over the years, so did the complexity of their organisation and the diversity of the computer applications. Faced with an increasing volume of information that was being collected and processed, it became important to automate and manage data collection and analysis.
It is with this in view that Pomona decided to adopt SAP NetWeaver Identity Management. It would allow them to centralise and automate the lifecycle management of all enterprise users, while managing different levels of access rights so that the right users have access to the right systems at the right time. The SAP solution would replace a competitor’s identity management system, and Pomona looked forward to enjoying the features of the new SAP solution.
Why Logica Business Consulting?
Pierre Chesneau, project management in-charge at Pomona affirms, “The reason we approached Logica Business Consulting is simple. Its experience and know-how in the identity management domain is incomparable.” Today, the solution is indispensable to Pomona. In addition, SAP Identity Management provides them with a catalogue of functionalities and connectors called ‘standards’.
These connectors:
- reduce development time (by a simple configuration)
- connect the whole information system (IS) to a central identity management system.
Logica has also developed customised connectors to connect, for example, a Domino server which uses API libraries of the Lotus Notes client and the AS400. This wealth of connectors is applied to SAP as well as non-SAP applications.
Key Benefits for Pomona
- Simpler, automated and centralised management of the lifecycle of 900 IS users (SAP, AS400, Domino, Active Directory)
- Enhanced functionalities and self-services for employees
- Automated internal control reports for better incident management
- Optimised data processing time that opens up the possibility of starting several functionalities in parallel without slowing down the system
- Facilitated deployment of account bases for ongoing and future projects.
