Okta helps organizations around the world scale, modernize, and bolster their technology—but what do our own IT teams and processes look like? In honor of Okta’s 10-year anniversary, we took a peek under the hood and explored some of our biggest takeaways from the past decade. We sat down with Chris Flynn, VP of employee enablement; Stephanie Dwight, senior manager of IT business systems; Prakash Raina, director of IT architecture and finance business systems; and Ming Wu, VP of data and analytics, to talk about their takeaways from Okta’s own IT journey. Okta has grown quickly over the past 10 years. How have your IT teams scaled with this growth? Prakash: Before Okta started scaling, we had a lot of business systems that were decentralized and managed by different people. We didn’t have a CIO. As we began to scale, we realized that would not continue to work. We needed.
