The Whole Campus Is Watching

Identity implementations are among the most visible and high-stakes initiatives because they impact access, security, and the daily experience of students, faculty, and staff. Success depends on getting complex identity decisions right across the institution.

Moran helps coordinate efforts across departments and align functional, technical, and operational teams to deliver a smooth implementation. From preparation to go-live and beyond, we bring project discipline, higher education expertise, and deep platform experience to every step of the project, prioritizing institutional ownership so your team receives the capability to operate and evolve your IAM solution.

Moran helps institutions implement these solutions in ways that align identity processes, data sources, and institutional operations.
  • SailPoint
    SailPoint provides enterprise-grade identity governance, access certification, and risk management capabilities for complex environments. Moran helps institutions implement SailPoint to align governance, compliance, and access controls with institutional policies and operational workflows.

  • 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
  • With Moran’s guidance, we were able to move from an outdated and homegrown access system to a modern, cloud-based identity platform that supports our long-term strategy.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
  • 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!
