Gatwick Airport never shuts down, and we expect the same from our partners. Okta’s enterprise-grade service was the only solution that could meet our technical, operational and security requirements.
Michael Ibbitson CIO
Gatwick Airport is the UK’s second largest airport and the busiest single-runway airport in the world.

Our company is full of engineers who build amazing products that work with creative magic. We don’t have people who are IT professionals in identity and spend lots of time writing software. One of the challenges we ran into is our engineering teams who are used to building fabulous creative software were suddenly faced with trying to understand what SAML was, and what identity was. What was really cool for me as the CIO, is that the people who know about the domain the best, are the IT professionals. For us internally, it was an opportunity for our IT organization to show what the new breed of IT is all about.

Three things we love about Okta: It gives us the identity management functionality that we really needed; it also gives us the ability to use Okta federation services to tie lots of diverse units together, which is very powerful; and lastly it gives us logging on provisioning and decommissioning of users, which we didn't have before. We found Okta to be a wonderful group to work with.

Main features of the Okta platform depends on how you look at it. In the past, the main reason was consolidating user names and passwords. But I knew it could be much more. For me, provisioning was a big piece - and knowing the future of what this platform could be. I felt like Okta as a company had the right vision, shared my vision, and saw where the cloud was going, the problems I would face and I thought we could solve the problem together.
