Quest’s approach to identity integration (and consequently the centralized authentication, single sign-on, and reduced sign-on benefits) has proven successful at more than 1,000 companies worldwide representing more than 5 million users.
- One of North America’s leading financial institutions was able to leverage Quest technology to reduce logins and password for its entire retail teller population from 18 logins to only two. This success extended to more than 7,000 Unix servers and more than 110,000 users.
- The SAP single sign-on capabilities of Quest Authentication Services (formerly Vintela Authentication Services) are being used by tens-of-thousands of users at one of the world’s leading nutrition and food companies and at one of North America’s top aerospace corporations.
But large companies aren’t the only ones achieving benefit from Quest’s approach to simplifying identity and access management. Hundreds of organizations of all sizes are also realizing operational, security, and compliance benefits as they extend their Active Directory infrastructures to non-Windows systems and applications.
