On 15th of May 2023, DIRECTV, completed Soffid implementation and production cut-over for Argentina, United States, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and the Caribbean subsidiaries. The successful go live follows the signing of a multi-year agreement between DIRECTV and Soffid, giving both parties a solid foundation to continue collaborating and innovating in the identity and access management processes. After the cut-over, Soffid IAM provides Access Management and Identity Governance and Administration (AM & IGA) to DIRECTV’s 30,000+ employee and external users identities.
Mariano Silvestrini, Senior Manager Security, of DIRECTV Latin America, comments: “DIRECTV and Soffid teams achieved a friction less implementation and cut-over in record time, allowing DIRECTV to unify identity management across LATAM markets and all our software platform. Having a solution able to integrate to any existing application and also able to federate to any third party identity provider, allows us to achieve the required standardization and flexibility.”
“Soffid is very proud of this successful implementation due to the added complexity of having a significant delivery scope and multiple locations in different countries. DIRECTV highly skilled team alongside Soffid’s best-in-class integration and provisioning capabilities have been key to achieve a fast and successful implementation.” said Miquel Simó, COO of Soffid. “From now on, Soffid IAM protects DIRECTV digital assets with state-of-the-art IAM technology including multi-factor authentication, adaptative security, behavioral rules and patterns, enforced business workflows, etc.”
