Seamless SCIM Provisioning for DPG Media
DPG Media, one of Europe’s leading media organizations, needed a smarter way to manage Jira user accounts and groups as its workforce scaled. Manual onboarding and offboarding were creating inefficiencies, errors, and unnecessary license costs. By partnering with miniOrange, DPG Media implemented SCIM-based provisioning with OneLogin and SAML SSO, resulting in automated lifecycle management, improved accuracy, and stronger security across their Atlassian environment.

- Error-Prone Group Management: Admins had to manually assign permissions, leading to inconsistencies.
- License Cost Overruns: Inactive accounts were not de-provisioned, consuming paid licenses.
- Fragmented Authentication: Jira access needed tighter integration with OneLogin for security and compliance.
