Flinders University faces budget pressures, evolving security requirements, and an ongoing drive to provide innovative, student-centered education experience. IT must streamline and secure technology access and develop responsive IT services for its diverse population of students, staff, and alumni.
A new security team takes an identity-first strategy, centralizing identity management first and then implementing security controls based on user profiles. After evaluating identity solutions, the team chooses Okta for its strategy alignment and its leading technology.
The Flinders team deploys Okta Single Sign-On and Lifecycle Management, integrating Office 365 along with other cloud and on-prem, legacy applications. After a 10-week implementation, the team rolls the solution out to 48,000 users over a two-week period.
With Okta, Flinders streamlines the process of onboarding 6,000 new users each year and dramatically reduces password reset requests. By centralizing identity, the team reduces risk across the organization and is able to quickly identify if an account has been compromised.
Because Okta makes application integration easy, Flinders now follows a truly student-centered technology strategy. The University is currently rolling out Okta Multi-Factor Authentication to the wider university community and begin a major transition away from legacy systems to the cloud.
From enrollment to commencement, Okta provides students and staff a connected online experience.
Flinders University, a 52-year-old institution based in South Australia, aims to create a seamless experience for its 27,000 students, 2,800 staff, and 4,000 casual academics. Okta creates a single layer that connects all their users together with their services so the focus is on the student's futures.
