Working across six continents, Teleflex provides medical devices used in critical care and surgeries across the globe. Their products help protect patients from infections and enables surgeons to do safer, less invasive procedures ranging from vascular access, anesthesia and airway management among many others.
Teleflex Incorporated (www.teleflex.com) has a core identity management strategy: one point of access. Beginning as just a temporary fix to decommission the company's Sun LDAP directory, Teleflex began their use of a virtual directory. The virtual directory allowed the company to link all of their separate directory information into one enterprise directory. Using directory virtualization, Teleflex was able to eliminate custom scripting, serving up employee data from SQL databases to the receiving applications without scheduling synchronization tasks.
The enterprise directory has now become a significant part of Teleflex's identity management strategy to improve facilitation of acquisitions, eliminate custom scripting to obtain employee data from Teleflex's HR Vista system and to unify and simplify both application access and the end user experience.
