Currys is a leading technology products and services retailer operating online and through 719 stores in 6 countries. In addition, the company is a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) of the iD Mobile cell phone network.
Challenge
Like many retailers, Currys has a constantly changing pool of employees that tends to increase around major holidays such as Christmas. As a result, the organiszation was challenged to efficiently grant, manage, and revoke identity security for its ever-changing group of employees. The company also needed to automate its manual access management processes and ensure that access wasn’t overprovisioned.
Solution
Currys partnered with SailPoint to automate identity security processes in its United Kingdom locations. The solution not only saved significant time that was previously consumed by manual access control management, but it also automatically provideds a complete audit trail for changes, reducing compliance challenges. In addition, Currys can now run automated recertification campaigns to verify access rights. It has integrated easily across multiple internal systems, including Microsoft Active Directory, ServiceNow, and SAP SuccessFactors.
