As one of the largest, market-leading global pharma companies in the world, Takeda depends on IT-solutions enabling them to strengthen, support, and protect business critical operations. 

Searching for a global solution for identity management and access governance, all vendors in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Identity Governance and Administration were initially considered. Omada has been positioned in the “challengers” quadrant in 2017, and in March, Takeda selected Omada as their vendor of choice based on solution requirements and ability to deliver. 

“We operate in a highly regulated industry, consequently we only invited the absolute leading vendors in the market. Omada stood out as being able to address all of our requirements with an intuitive user interface. In particular, we support thousands of applications in our organization, and Omada was the only vendor with proven capability to handle unconnected applications and systems,” said Matthew Janiszewski, Global Head, Identity & Access Governance, Takeda.
 
Takeda requires overview and flexibility
IT-landscape and governance processes within the pharmaceutical sector are complex, thus the need for overview and flexibility is crucial. Omada Identity Suite offers automation and access governance to support complex operations such as R&D activities in Takeda. The solution offers Takeda an overview of user access and gives them the ability to test and recertify identities. The platform is feature rich, flexible, and easy to deploy using a phased approach. Omada provides both access governance and identity lifecycle management in one single platform and portal, utilizing all Omada developed components without any third party add-ons.

The need for compliance is crucial
As a global, market-leading pharmaceutical company Takeda maintains the highest level of security in order to be compliant with compliance regulations globally. For this, a detailed overview is important in order to secure  continuous compliance. Documentation and validation is crucial. The IT-environment in Takeda involves multiple systems across the organization including R&D, Human Resources, production, etc. Omada helps capture all user and identity data into one system, operated from one single platform.

Omada partners with Danish IT firm NNIT in order to deliver identity management and governance access as a managed service. NNIT will manage the solution and Omada will be responsible for the configuration of the software. NNIT guarantees that customer data and applications are operated and maintained in an environment that is secure and always ready for regulatory inspection, meeting strict regulatory requirements for security, availability, and compliance.
