IAM Shouldn’t Be This Hard

For IT leaders, IAM sits at the center of every meaningful technology initiative. Moran works with CIOs, CISOs, and IAM leaders to transform identity from a fragmented system into a strategic enabler of growth, experience, and security.

We help you understand the full impact of IAM across your institution, then partner with your team on assessments, platform strategy, and roadmap development through implementation and beyond, with a focus on building lasting capability so your IAM program can adapt and scale over time.

  • Our IAM modernization was more than an upgrade — it was an archaeological dig. Looking at decades of scripts, directories, processes, and sparse documentation, Moran was our expert guide and architect, helping us excavate the past, decipher the complexity, and engineer a modern IAM solution.

  • Without Moran’s guidance and support, our university would still be struggling to maintain and operate a decades old, home-grown IAM infrastructure. Now, with Moran’s help, the university is on a stable IAM platform that we can support, and not only that, but allows us to finally move forward with new IAM initiatives.

    Public Research University IT Architect
  • We partnered with Moran to implement and enhance our identity management system. Thanks to Moran’s deep experience in higher education, we were able to quickly move into production. From development to project management to back-office support, every part of Moran’s team has been outstanding to work with. Their expertise, responsiveness, and collaborative spirit have made them a truly exceptional partner.

    Public University Information Security Officer
  • As a team of one managing identity at my institution, having Moran as a trusted partner has been invaluable. Moran provides expertise, backup, and guidance whenever needed, acting as an extension of our team. They’re ready to help — that responsiveness and commitment makes the difference! They take the time to understand exactly what we’re trying to accomplish and then work collaboratively to make that vision a reality.

    Private Liberal Arts College Director of Information Security & Privacy
  • We selected Moran for their transparent approach, ability to tailor configurations to our unique environment, and expert application of industry best practices. Their ongoing commitment to service improvement has ensured our identity management system continues to evolve securely and effectively.

    Public Community College Executive Director, Security and Technology Services
  • With Moran’s guidance, we were able to move from an outdated and homegrown access system to a modern, cloud-based identity platform that supports our long-term strategy. 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.

    Private University Vice President for IT, CIO & CISO
  • Moran worked side-by-side with our IT team, leading the effort to re-engineer and mature our identity management business processes and governance, and replace our campus identity management platform. This is our second successful major engagement with Moran. They are experts in the field, complete pros, and a trusted advisor to our executive leadership team and me.

    Public University Vice Chancellor, Information Technology Services
  • 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!
