Ken Komazawa,Vice President of Platform Services Department,Network & Cloud Division,NTT Comware: "After researching and evaluating several competing products,we chose Evidian IGAto support our back-office operations for our 250,000 employees across 115 group companies. Through trial and error,we've achieved a flexible identity and rightsmanagement model and fast processing speeds that can handle millions of provisioning tasks within hours. Evidian IGA is also essential for ID management associated with the large-scale personnel changes of approximately 50,000 employeesthat occur periodicallywithin the NTT Group."
