City University London
Secured web based application access for staff and students
The Challenge
City University have been steadily moving towards web based applications for the delivery of services and they needed a solution to securely manage access for 25,000 students and staff. The solution had to provide single sign-on capabilities and integration between email, web, collaborative tools and the University's Moodle Virtual Learning Environment.
The Solution
The Pirean implemented security solution uses IBM Tivoli technology to enable the secure delivery of a range of portal and collaborative services to 25,000 staff and students of the university. In addition, customised training was provided to enable the University's technical team to support and adapt the solution in future.
The three month project delivered single sign-on capabilities for the University’s growing web application environment. The success of the project has reduced the cost associated with individually managing and maintaining the security of web applications. Furthermore, by implementing a fully resilient architecture the risk of unplanned downtime is also substantially reduced.
"Pirean has delivered a solution that allows us to reign in costs and deploy new applications quickly without generating more management overheads for the IT department."Bill Rafferty,
