Success Story

Governance coverage that outlasts the IGA platform.

A regulated U.S. financial services company stopped a competing purchase after seeing READI live. It now onboards disconnected applications 10X faster, and that coverage will move with it to its next IGA platform.

Disconnected apps & connectors

10X Faster application onboarding, hours instead of weeks.

At a glance

Customer Publicly traded U.S. consumer financial services company and regulated bank.
Challenge Significant governance gaps caused by a large number of disconnected applications, with a move to a new IGA platform planned within a year.
Solution READI connects disconnected applications to the IGA platform, including applications with no API and no available connector, independent of which IGA platform is in place.
Result Applications onboarded in hours instead of weeks; every connected application carries over to the next IGA platform.

The challenge

An IGA platform can only govern the applications it is connected to. At this company, a large number of applications were not connected. Access in those applications sat outside provisioning, access reviews, and the audit trail.

For a regulated financial institution, that is more than an inconvenience. Every disconnected application is access that cannot be fully evidenced to an auditor or examiner.

The onboarding backlog had stalled. Each application needed integration work measured in weeks, and the queue grew faster than the team could clear it.

There was a second constraint. The company planned to move to a different IGA platform within a year. Any integration work tied to the current platform risked being thrown away and rebuilt. The company was already in procurement with another vendor when it found READI.

What changed with READI

At an industry conference, the team watched a live demonstration of READI connecting an application. After the demo and a conversation with READI at the booth, they walked directly to their implementation partner’s booth and asked them to cancel the deal with the competing vendor.

READI works with an application through its user interface, guided by plain-English instructions. An application does not need an API or a prebuilt connector to be brought under governance, and that holds for web, desktop, and legacy terminal applications alike.

Independence gave the company the confidence to buy. READI is IGA agnostic: the applications it connects are not tied to any one IGA platform. Every application the company onboards now will transition to its new IGA platform without being rebuilt.

The result

10X faster application onboarding. Applications that took weeks now take hours.
A stalled backlog, moving again. The company is making progress on an application backlog that had stopped.
Coverage that carries forward. When the new IGA platform goes live, it starts with broad governance coverage of the company’s critical business applications instead of an empty onboarding queue.
