Metsähallitus had already been using an identity management system that was nearing the end of its lifecycle. Through a public tender and with the help of an external consultant, a search was launched to find a suitable partner for a new and more flexible solution.
"We had already had two previous identity and access management systems in place before the Efecte IGA identity management system - although they were different in terms of features - by this point in time already cumbersome to use and lacking in features. We wanted a new, more modern and easy-to-use service for managing user identities, which also has room for growth for future needs," says Lasse Kemppinen, ICT specialist at Metsähallitus.
