University of Western Australia Identity Management Transformation

This case study details the implementation of Saviynt’s Identity Cloud at the University of Western Australia (UWA), a leading research university. The objective was to enhance identity management, which had previously been fragmented across various schools and institutes, resulting in a lack of centralized governance. The Saviynt platform was selected for its ability to identify risky privilege combinations and streamline identity governance processes. The integration of multiple Active Directory services and various university systems into Saviynt has improved user experiences and operational efficiency. Key benefits include automated provisioning and deprovisioning, reduced identity-related risks, and enhanced visibility for compliance. UWA aims to achieve ongoing audit-readiness and implement role-based access controls and privileged access management. The deployment of Saviynt is seen as a critical step in UWA's digital transformation strategy, enabling better management of user access and supporting the university's commitment to improving the student experience.
