Keep Your
Implementation on Track

Moran provides implementation oversight, governance, and higher education expertise to guide complex identity initiatives, whether leading alongside your team or supporting vendor-led implementations.

Get Implementation Right

Identity implementations in higher education are more complex than platform vendors typically anticipate. Multi-affiliation identity models, legacy process gaps, and the realities of campus operations require experienced guidance that goes beyond what system integrators are scoped to provide. Moran works alongside your team and vendor partners to maintain structure, alignment, and momentum through the hard parts, including implementations that have stalled and need a reset.

How We Make It Happen

Moran provides focused implementation support that brings clarity to requirements, structure to execution, and experienced guidance through the architectural decisions that determine whether an identity initiative succeeds.

Our Approach

  • Identity Requirements and Stakeholder Alignment

    Define identity models, lifecycle processes, and access needs with stakeholders across campus so requirements reflect real operational needs before implementation begins

  • Implementation Planning and Execution Support

    Support test case development, user acceptance testing, bug tracking, and go-live planning with the structure and coordination needed to execute from testing through rollout

  • Architecture and Legacy Transition

    Navigate the gaps where legacy processes and customizations don’t map cleanly to modern SaaS platforms, designing solutions aligned with platform capabilities and long-term sustainability

What We Deliver

  • Identity requirements documentation and stakeholder alignment

  • Test plans, UAT support, and bug tracking processes

  • Go-live planning and contingency documentation

  • Architecture transition guidance and legacy gap analysis

They helped us cut through complexity and delivered a smooth, successful implementation. The new identity management solution transformed how we secure and streamline access for students, faculty, and staff across our entire digital ecosystem.

  • Without Moran, we would not have been able to synthesize the requirements of this complex project into its simplest components. Moran was able to add value quickly — assisting us in setting a strategic direction and ensuring successful implementation in our highly federated environment. Our students will benefit from a seamless experience to support their degree requirements!
