“We started using AWS Organizations to manage the accounts for our multi-account environment and simplify our billing. We have also greatly simplified our access management with the AWS SSO integration. AWS Organizations enables us to isolate workloads with similar risk profiles within their own account, to identify ownership of accounts via account tags, and enforce controls with Service Control Policies that cannot be overridden by the administrators of the member accounts. We now deliver new accounts quickly and securely freeing our developers to focus on business solutions.”

Jaime Villegas, Head of Corporative Services - Bancolombia

Nabeel Ebrahim, Chief Revenue Officer - Behavox

"In the end we made the decision to go for AWS SSO since according to our ecosystem it is AWS who best positioned and responded to our different use cases in the present and for what we had in mind. The main benefit [of AWS SSO] was the security of our identities as well as centralizing the permissions according to the different roles for each of our collaborators. Finally, that AWS SSO has compatibility with SAML 2.0 to integrate the different applications that today are part of the B89 ecosystem continues to allow us to be the ones who control the management of access and identities and not fall back on third parties.”

Gerardo Castro Arica, Security Architect - B89

Dow Jones has been bringing information to the world's top businesses with relentless pursuit of accuracy, depth, and innovation since 1882. 

“When starting our AWS journey, we used four base roles on a large estate of accounts which required significant ongoing work to create and manage lists of services that were, and were not allowed. To increase security and ease of service integration, we moved to a deny first posture. We utilized AWS Organizations and IAM Permission Boundaries to centrally manage eight job function-based roles with a simplified list of permissions required by our internal stakeholders."

Nico Halpern, Director, Cloud Services, Dow Jones

“Using AWS Organizations, we’re able to accelerate development by giving teams their own environments in separate accounts, allowing them to progress simultaneously without impacting other teams or pipelines. We’re able to group accounts by business units using organizational units, and we can support three common development stages for applications. As a result, we were able to accelerate projects onboarded to cloud by 5X, reduce number of IAM permission tickets by 10X, and experienced 3X fewer stability issues. This is all made possible using simple APIs from AWS Organizations.”

Gaurav Jain, Director, Cloud Platform, Factset

"Fresno State takes pride in being an engine of social mobility in the region and continues to be one of the most affordable universities in the nation. In 2019, we began our cloud journey with an identity strategy utilizing AWS Organizations, AWS SSO, AWS IAM, and AWS Managed Active Directory. AWS Managed AD allows us to leverage a trust relationship with our on-premise directory allowing our AWS resources to utilize either directory for authentication. AWS Managed AD’s integration with AWS SSO enables us to easily on-board new accounts and users, saving us days if not weeks of effort. With AWS SSO permission sets we can easily grant access across our multi-account environment from a central console."

John Wagenleitner, Cloud Architect - Fresno State

AWS Organizations and Service Control Policies (SCP) provide top-down governance and allows for the delegation of identity based and resource-based policy administration to each business unit. This model allows the businesses to move independently and operate at scale to solve today’s industrial challenges.”

Matthew Green, Sr. Director, Cloud Architecture - GE

Invenia is a cloud-based machine learning platform that uses big, high frequency data to solve complex energy intelligence problems in real-time.

"As a cloud-based business ourselves, we rely extensively on AWS and a number of SaaS-based applications, but didn't like the security and compliance risks associated with managing end-user credentials to so many independent systems. Deploying AWS SSO allowed us to provide access to those same applications, but using our existing corporate credentials instead, and without any of the hassle of managing a traditional SSO solution - Brilliant!"

Sascha McDonald, Head of Architecture and Operations - Invenia

The Rail Delivery Group (RDG) brings together the companies that run Britain’s railway into a single team with one goal - to deliver a better railway.

"We use AWS Identity services to manage internal and external access to our AWS data platform. Originally, we used AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM) on each account separately, but we started using AWS SSO, integrated with our existing SAML solution, along with AWS Control Tower when that started to get out of hand. This created the ability to manage everything centrally with minimal overhead for a very cheap price while driving improvements in both our security and time efficiency. "

Toby Ayre, Head of Data & Analytics, Service Delivery - Rail Delivery Group

"I don’t think we got any negative feedback about AWS SSO. For a change that affects the daily workflow of about 1,500 people, that’s kind of unprecedented."

Guy Davies, Principal Cloud Architect - Sophos

“We made it easier for our finance department to track cloud costs using AWS Organizations, as it provided them with a single bill and allowed us to qualify for volume discounts and lower pricing from AWS savings plans. In addition, using AWS SSO with AWS Organizations allowed us to centralize authentication to our Identity provider (IdP), which has been a massive improvement on a daily basis for our employees so they don't have different sets of credentials for accessing multiple AWS accounts. Our infrastructure security team was also able to centralize access management, resulting in an increase in platform security and a decrease in operational costs.”

Rocco Zanni, CTO - Spreaker
