Fischer Identity was deployed in multiple phases initially built to manage the day-to-day user lifecycle of their internal employees, as well as consultants associated with the credit union. In addition, to meet their regulatory requirements, University of Wisconsin Credit Union (UWCU) utilizes the compliance and certification features to verify user access.

In the initial phase, the solution was deployed to automate the user lifecycle of employees that were provided via a flat file. The information obtained from the source of authority was then processed through the Fischer Identity Suite to provision/de-provision access to Active Directory and Exchange accounts so that the employees could continue their job functions. In addition, multiple other applications needed to be provisioned/de-provisioned utilizing Fischer’s Administrative Provisioning feature, which allows for the full business process to occur submitting requests to the application owner to manually provision/ de-provision the access required for the user.

Once the user’s access had been provisioned, they were able to leverage identity claiming, which allowed them to securely complete their security profile and set their initial password. Along, with the deployment of an easy-to-use interface for managing passwords, end users had the ability to request additional access, with the appropriate approval layers in place, when needed.

During the second phase, UWCU decided to switch to UltiPro as their source of authority, as well as move to Office 365 as their email system, replacing their on-premises Exchange system. With the expertise that Fischer Identity had in previous deployments of these applications, the transition was quick and seamless.U
