Metsähallitus is a state-owned company that provides natural resource services to a wide range of customers, from citizens to large companies. If everyday life in an organisation is anything between land, forest and sky, Efecte IGA came along and got stuck in the cloud.

The main benefits of the Efecte IGA solution for Metsähallitus:
The project progressed from tendering to supplier selection and initial project preparation. It didn't take long to move from plans to actions - the smooth progress was facilitated by the client's previous experience in identity management and similar projects - and thus an understanding of what they wanted and needed from the new solution.
At Metsähallitus, the new IGA service is used by a few main users, with around 1000 internal and 800 external users. Compared to the old service, the new one is a fully independent end-user self-service portal. In general, identity management as a cloud service was new for Metsähallitus.
"Security - whether we talk about GDPR or data security - has been taken into account in Efecte's IGA in the way required by all laws and regulations. Security, ease of use and, on the other hand, Efecte's professionalism throughout the project were convincing. We intend to extend the use of Efecte IGA even further than it is today", Kemppinen continues.
Metsähallitus' Efecte IGA operates in their designated location, a so-called private cloud model, where the customer gets all the benefits of the cloud but maintains the data center themselves.
