Key Business Challenges
Tekla needed to improve access to its software suite for all customer types, ensuring strict license-based user control. They required a single Identity Provider (IdP) for Single Sign-On and Single Sign-Out across web and desktop apps, plus integration with Microsoft Active Directory and ADFS for enterprise logins. The current licensing system was too rigid for Tekla’s diverse online products. Tekla also wanted a unified customer view for efficient access management, upselling, and real-time CRM and purchase updates.
Solution
Tekla set out to create a unified identity and licensing system with a single IdP for all customer types and platforms, supporting strong SSO and Single Sign-Out. Integration with AD and ADFS was needed for enterprise users. They wanted identity-based licensing for precise access control and real-time updates via e-commerce and CRM integration, aiming for a secure, scalable user experience.
