Case Study

Hurix Digital Enables 99.99% Availability and ISO 27001 Compliance with Azure AD Migration for $650M Manufacturer

Client Overview

Our client is a Florida-based industrial instrumentation manufacturer with over 1,000 employees and an annual revenue of $650 million. They operate multiple manufacturing units across the U.S. and rely heavily on secure, reliable IT infrastructure to support their operations.

The Challenge

The client’s identity and access management (IAM) services were outdated and inefficient, resulting in frequent operational disruptions. Their key challenges included:
  • The client’s on-premise Active Directory (AD) servers were outdated, which caused recurring outages and compromised business-critical IT services.
  • Limited access control, poor policy management, and lack of disaster recovery capabilities exposed our client to data leaks and security vulnerabilities.
  • Remote employees were using workgroup login IDs, bypassing the centralized AD, which made it difficult to manage access control policies and track user activities effectively.
  • Many technology stacks were outdated due to budget constraints, making it challenging to maintain a robust, scalable IT environment.
  • Devices across various locations were not integrated into the same identity and access management system, which led to inconsistent policy enforcement.

Our Solution

Hurix Digital provided a comprehensive solution that modernized the client’s identity and access management infrastructure using Microsoft’s cloud services. The key steps included.

1

Discovery and Assessment

  • Hurix Digital’s Cloud Infrastructure Architect and Technology Manager conducted extensive discovery and assessment sessions with the client’s IT stakeholders. This assessment identified gaps in the existing IAM setup and provided a clear path for migration and modernization.
  • A detailed report was presented, to offer insights into the client’s current challenges and a roadmap for the future digital estate, including Azure AD migration and Intune deployment.

2

Migration to Azure AD and Intune Deployment

  • Hurix Digital migrated the client’s outdated on-premise AD to Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), for a reliable, scalable, and secure identity management solution. Microsoft Intune was deployed to govern all devices and enforce company-wide policies from a single platform.

3

Cost-Effective, Reliable Disaster Recovery

  • Azure AD provided the client with an active-passive disaster recovery (DR) solution, drastically reducing the risk of outages. With Azure’s cloud-based architecture, the client achieved a 99.99% service availability, significantly reducing the operational disruptions previously experienced.

4

Training and Knowledge Transfer

  • Hurix Digital delivered in-depth training sessions to the client’s IT team, educating them on the features, functionality, and ongoing management of Azure AD and Intune. This allowed the client’s internal teams to efficiently manage and maintain the new system with minimal external support.

The Result

Hurix Digital’s comprehensive solution delivered impressive results

  • The migration to Azure AD ensured 99.99% availability of identity and access management services, even during outages.
  • The new infrastructure met ISO 27001 security standards. This provided our client with robust, industry-compliant IAM services that safeguarded sensitive data.
  • By migrating to a cloud-based solution, our client significantly reduced maintenance efforts and costs associated with their previous on-premise AD infrastructure.
  • All corporate devices and users were registered in Azure AD, allowing for streamlined, centralized policy enforcement and governance.
  • Enhanced security controls minimized the risk of data breaches and ensured that access control policies were uniformly enforced across all locations.
  • Our client reduced IT infrastructure costs by 50% by shifting from a fragmented on-premise system to a scalable, cost-effective cloud-based model.
