CMA CGM (www.cma-cgm.com/default.aspx) , the world’s third largest container shipping company, realized significant cost savings, business efficiencies, decreased risks and improved regulatory compliance with Oracle Identity Management.

Clear and well-defined business objectives combined with a complete identity and access management vision enabled CMA CGM to detect and eliminate all ghost accounts across various systems within three months after putting Oracle Identity Manager in operation.

With Oracle Identity Management, by eliminating the need for superfluous ID resources, CMA CGM has significantly reduced license costs and has improved the global IT security level.

This implementation also enabled CMA CGM to dramatically reduce the time it takes to provision new accounts, reaching a true performance: only one day, worldwide, to deliver an access with auditable evidences of requests, validations and authorizations.

With Oracle Identity Management, CMA CGM was also able to achieve compliance with national and international laws and specific custom regulations and the auditable records generated by Oracle Identity Manager allowed CMA CGM to prepare the specific European Economic Registered Operator’s custom certification and think about an ISO 27001 certification.

CMA CGM is also a recipient of the Oracle Identity Management Innovation Award for Best Identity Deployment.
