The Challenge


A Long-Standing Partnership Overcomes a New Challenge

For years, this global data analytics and technology provider has trusted Ensono to manage its distributed environment and keep its operations running smoothly. This relationship gives us a front-row seat to their growth—and to the mounting pressure on their teams.

As the business expanded, onboarding new enterprise customers became a source of stress. Each new client meant weeks of manual work—up to 20 days—spread across multiple teams.

People were juggling spreadsheets, chasing details, and troubleshooting login issues late into the evening. It wasn’t just inefficient; it was exhausting. Every delay risked frustrating customers and damaging relationships in a market where speed and trust are everything.

Putting Customers in Control with Self-Service Innovation

Leadership recognized that incremental fixes wouldn’t solve the problem. They needed an onboarding experience that matched their reputation for innovation and customer centricity.

Instead of continuing with manual processes, they envisioned a solution that would put control in the hands of their customers; fast, secure, and effortless. That vision became the foundation for a new area of collaboration with Ensono.

The Journey


Making the Vision a Reality with Modern Identity Solutions

Together, we built a centralized identity portal with self-service onboarding, integrated Okta’s Auth0 solution for seamless federated SSO, and introduced flexible access management to support thousands of products and applications. We streamlined login and password reset processes, automated testing for consistent user journeys, and strengthened security with robust roles and permissions management.

Every decision was guided by the client’s goal: to deliver a frictionless experience for customers while reducing complexity for internal teams.

The Outcomes


Now Onboarding is a Competitive Advantage

The results speak volumes:

  • Onboarding time plummeted from 20 days (8,400 minutes) to just 7 minutes—a 99.92% improvement.
  • Costs per onboarding fell from $10,500 to $8.75, saving $10,491.25 each time.
  • The organization now expects annual savings of $1.26 million and a potential revenue boost of $1.24 million.

The best part? No more late nights chasing details. No more frustrated customers waiting weeks for access. Instead, a smooth, modern experience that builds trust from Day One.
