CUSTOMERS / GLOBAL TELECOM SERVICE PROVIDER

Solving complexity in application access with a unified portal

“With Strata, we now have a modern portal, improved security, and as a bonus, we eliminated legacy overhead — all without disrupting access.”

— IAM Program Manager, Global Telecom Provider

Faced with an aging portal that connected users to hundreds of business-critical apps, this global telecom leader needed a way to modernize access without disrupting operations. With Strata, they:
Portal modernization

Modernized a company portal that housed business-critical applications

Streamlined authentication

Simplified and secured the authentication experience for 80+ applications

Savings from retiring legacy IDP

Retired legacy identity services stack, moved to modern directory store and IDP, and saved millions of dollars in support costs

THE CHALLENGE

Move critical apps off a legacy IDP

A leading telecom and software company needed to shift from a legacy IDP to a modern, open-source provider and there was no time to lose. Their legacy system was costly to maintain and nearing end-of-life, while a new app portal was also being rolled out.

The transition created friction: users had to log in twice to access apps across both portals. To secure access and improve user experience, the team needed a flexible solution that simplified authentication and allowed full control over identity providers.

“What used to take months of coordination across teams now happens in days — Strata made that possible.”

THE SOLUTION

Modernize all applications through Identity Orchestration

The team needed a faster, more secure way to modernize its complex identity environment — and found it with Maverics.

Strata acted as a proxy authorization engine, enabling a smooth transition between portals and bidirectional SSO and logout. This unique capability let the company retire its legacy IDP and streamline identity services.

Maverics also replaced multiple custom components with a single orchestrator, simplifying policy management and eliminating redundant services.

“We eliminated legacy costs and complexity while delivering a better experience for our users.”

THE OUTCOME

Stronger identity security and costs cut

Strata used Maverics to modernize the company’s authentication system, replacing custom modules without legacy dependencies and reducing identity sprawl. The “move-and-improve” approach enhanced both the login experience and backend operations — all without costly rewrites or migrations.

  • Strengthened security with modern authentication and fewer policy enforcement points

  • Better user and admin experience through streamlined login and simplified management

  • Millions saved by avoiding application rewrites, migrations, and infrastructure overhead

“Updating access to 80+ critical apps without disrupting users seemed out of reach—until we found Strata.”
