CUSTOMERS / FORTUNE 100 MANUFACTURER

Keep critical applications online during complex identity system transition

“Strata gave us the confidence to transition our critical applications to Okta. Their expertise and ability to resolve our big problem quickly was key to maintaining our operational integrity and security during the migration.”

— CIO, Manufacturing

Replicating ForgeRock’s delegated admin capabilities within Okta — or any cloud IDP — seemed like an impossible dream. However, with Strata, this manufacturer made the switch without refactoring or losing the value of the investment of their complex setup.

THE CHALLENGE

Migrate multiple highly complex apps from ForgeRock to Okta

A Fortune 100 manufacturer needed to migrate from ForgeRock to Okta without disrupting access to essential, highly customized applications. Even brief interruptions could cost millions—or impact worker safety.

With apps tightly integrated with ForgeRock’s APIs, the IT team anticipated a long, complex migration. Okta also lacked critical features like delegated admin, vital for operational workflows. To reduce risk, the company introduced Microsoft Entra ID as a secondary provider and required the new system to meet strict security and compliance standards.

Multiple teams—IT, security, and compliance—had to align quickly on a secure, efficient solution that could be implemented with minimal disruption.

THE SOLUTION

Friction-free deployment calms chaos

The transition involved several stakeholder groups, including IT, security teams, and compliance. Coordinating these groups toward a common goal added complexity. To ease friction across various teams, they needed a progressive solution that could be deployed quickly. With on-site implementation, showing the integration process and leaving no questions unanswered, Strata’s expertise assuaged any doubts. The Maverics Identity Orchestration platform enabled the replication of ForgeRock’s custom capabilities within Okta, ensuring employees could continue to log in as users.

“Strata’s ability to integrate with our systems during the migration from ForgeRock to Okta has greatly improved our operational efficiency. The rapid application onboarding for SAML and OIDC apps enabled batch loading and updates for all our applications.”

THE OUTCOME

Flexibility, security, continuity and the human element

Security and compliance were top concerns for this migration, so changes to identity management systems had to comply with strict standards. Ensuring data protection and meeting regulatory requirements was essential.

Rather than the years-long process they feared, the migration could be done in a few months for a fraction of the cost they had initially budgeted. Strata laid the foundation for modernization, and the orchestration and implementation of the Maverics platform were quick and painless.

  • Avoided vendor lock-in with flexible orchestration

  • Enhanced identity security across applications

  • Positioned for future regulatory compliance

“We were impressed with the level of expertise and the speed with which Strata identified and resolved our main issues. It was a no-brainer to work with this team.”
