A Fortune 100 company with a geographically disbursed user population and a heterogeneous environment began their Single Sign-On deployment for a core group of enterprise applications. This initiative was challenging because the organization, through various mergers and acquisitions, had many divisions with unique requirements, applications, and security policies.

GEOBRIDGE provided implementation tools to assist the project team in identifying the variables associated with the deployment by location, business unit, and application. Once this information was documented, GEOBRIDGE facilitated planning sessions to assist the client in selecting and prioritizing the applications to be enabled. GEOBRIDGE documented these decisions and developed a daily game plan to detail the tasks that needed to be completed each day to ensure that all core applications were configured within the timeframe allocated for installation. GEOBRIDGE managed the installation and configuration process against the customer's requirements, ensuring that each application was configured correctly and deployed to the selected users.

By guiding the client through the planning process, GEOBRIDGE was able to build a comprehensive strategy for deployment. Understanding the variables up front prevented scope creep and ensured that the core applications would be configured within the time allocated. This approach kept the team focused and emphasized the common objectives of the project across all groups.
