One of the largest U.S. food and drug retailers
deploys Okta Identity Cloud to serve its more than 30 million
customers every week
Okta, Inc. (NASDAQ:OKTA), the leading independent provider of
identity for the enterprise, today announced that Albertsons
Companies successfully implemented the Okta Identity Cloud to
support its digital transformation. Okta also announced new or
expanded deployments in Q3 FY2019 with the Transportation Security
Administration (TSA), Sonoco and LendingClub. Today, Okta also
announced financial results for its third fiscal quarter.
“Every company is becoming a technology company, no matter what
service or product they provide. We believe that the only way for
companies to remain competitive is through the adoption of
best-in-class technologies that enable them to provide the best and
most secure customer experience,” said Todd McKinnon, CEO and
co-founder, Okta. “That’s why long-established brands like
Albertsons are leveraging the Okta Identity Cloud to securely
connect their customers to those technologies in a consistent and
reliable way. We’re excited to see the growing trend of companies
choosing to prioritize both experience and security for their
customers, and increasingly, they are choosing Okta to help them
accomplish just that.”
Albertsons, one of the largest U.S. grocery retailers,
successfully deployed Okta Customer Identity products to support
consumer programs, its eCommerce strategy and to better serve the
more than 30 million customers it interacts with each week. The
Okta Identity Cloud will serve as the first step of online
interaction between Albertsons and its customers, powering user
registration and authentication for Albertsons’ website and mobile
application. Okta’s Customer Identity products Single Sign-On,
Universal Directory and API Access Management will provide one
central identity platform that enhances the customer experience,
delights customers and builds loyalty.
“From our founding in 1939, Albertsons has been committed to
working hard for our customers: providing the products they want,
at a fair price, with great customer service. That’s why we
deployed Okta’s Customer Identity products to support our loyalty,
rewards and eCommerce strategy — with the ultimate aim of better
serving the more than 30 million customers we interact with every
week,” said Ramiya Iyer, GVP of IT, Digital and Marketing,
Albertsons. “As one of the U.S.’s largest grocery retailers, we
needed a solution that could scale with us, and we’re confident
that we found that in the Okta Identity Cloud, which now serves as
an important part of our customers’ digital experience with
Albertsons.”
In Q3, Okta grew its total customers to more than 5,600
organizations. Okta’s customer wins come amidst continued momentum
for the company, including the company’s record third fiscal 2019
quarterly revenue growth, the acquisition of ScaleFT and the
deepened partnership with VMware. At Oktane18, Okta announced
several product innovations, including ThreatInsight, which will
leverage a new set of contextual access management features to
enable organizations to replace the use of passwords with stronger
authentication for employees, partners and customers. Okta also
announced a strategic partnership with Workplace by Facebook.
