Why Datawiza Access Proxy Is the Future of Identity Orchestration

The Identity Challenge Enterprises Face

The way organizations manage identity has never been more complex.

Most enterprises today operate in a multi-IdP, multi-cloud world. They rely on a mix of:

• Multiple identity providers (IdPs) like Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Ping Identity, or legacy LDAP directories.
• Legacy systems (customer-facing portals and internal apps) that were never designed with modern identity in mind.
• Hybrid deployments where some workloads live in the cloud while others remain on-premises, often due to regulatory or operational reasons.
• Dozens or even hundreds of cloud and SaaS applications, each with different authentication standards and levels of protocol support.

This creates a fundamental challenge: how do you enforce consistent authentication, authorization, and MFA policies across such a fragmented environment—without spending millions on rewrites and years on migration projects?

That’s where identity orchestration comes in.

What Is Identity Orchestration?

Identity orchestration is about introducing a centralized control layer that unifies access across disparate systems. Instead of embedding authentication logic in every app or hard-wiring applications to a single IdP, orchestration allows enterprises to:

• Plug in multiple IdPs and let applications authenticate through a unified gateway.
• Standardize access policies and enforce MFA across the board, no matter the application.
• Modernize legacy applications by adding SSO/MFA without touching their code.
• Support seamless IdP migrations (e.g., moving from Okta to Entra ID, or consolidating multiple directories after an acquisition).
• Enable Zero Trust by applying context-aware, fine-grained access controls at the orchestration layer.

This decoupling is powerful. It reduces risk, increases agility, and enables IT teams to adapt to change without breaking critical apps.

How Datawiza Access Proxy Delivers Orchestration

Datawiza Access Proxy (DAP) is purpose-built to make identity orchestration fast, simple, and cost-effective. Unlike traditional web access gateways or agent/SDK-based approaches, DAP is:

• No-Code: Applications don’t need to be rewritten. Drop DAP in front of apps, configure via the cloud-based Datawiza Management Console (DMC), and modern authentication is live within hours.
• Protocol-Flexible: Supports OIDC, OAuth, SAML, and header injection so you can integrate with virtually any IdP and application.
• Multi-Cloud & Hybrid: Runs anywhere — Kubernetes, Docker, on-prem servers, or cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• Zero Trust Ready: Enforce contextual access based on user, device, location, or risk signals.
• Centralized: Manage all apps, policies, and IdP connections from one console for consistency and visibility.

Identity Orchestration in Action: Customer Examples

Organizations across industries already rely on Datawiza to orchestrate identity and secure critical systems.

• Financial Services A global financial institution used DAP to modernize a homegrown critical CRM system with Ping Identity. Within days, thousands of employees had SSO and MFA enabled — meeting strict regulatory requirements while improving the employee experience.
• Insurance An insurance company adopted DAP to protect customer-facing portals with MFA, in line with NYDFS compliance requirements. Instead of costly rewrites, they deployed DAP in front of existing portals and integrated with Microsoft/Google Authenticator OTP, achieving compliance on time and avoiding penalties.
• Higher Education A university deployed DAP in front of its Oracle PeopleSoft Campus System. By orchestrating authentication through Microsoft Entra ID, it enabled SSO and MFA in days, ensuring secure student and staff access while saving months of development work.
• Manufacturing A large food manufacturer used DAP to integrate Oracle JDE with Microsoft Entra ID. The orchestration layer enforced MFA policies consistently across plants and offices, allowing the company to pass strict IT compliance audits without disruptions.
• SaaS Providers A B2B SaaS vendor leveraged DAP to offer “bring your own IdP” (Okta, Entra, Ping) for enterprise customers. Instead of building custom integrations for each client, they used DAP to orchestrate identity at the proxy layer — speeding up enterprise sales cycles and reducing engineering costs.

These real-world use cases show how Datawiza isn’t just theory — it’s identity orchestration at work in high-stakes industries.

Why Datawiza Stands Out

While other solutions in the identity orchestration space exist, Datawiza stands out because it’s:

• Faster and Simpler: Deployment measured in hours or days, not months.
• Cost-Efficient: Avoids expensive consultants or app rewrites.
• Broadly Proven: Already trusted by organizations across finance, insurance, higher education, manufacturing, and SaaS.
• Compliance-Friendly: Helps organizations meet MFA mandates (NYDFS, PCI DSS, HIPAA) without disrupting users.
• Purpose-Built for Enterprises: Designed to modernize critical business apps like Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft, and JDE, not just SaaS apps.

Conclusion: The Orchestration Layer Your Business Needs

Enterprises today can’t afford identity silos, long migration projects, or inconsistent security policies. They need a powerful orchestration layer that bridges old and new, centralizes control, and keeps options open.

That’s exactly what Datawiza Access Proxy delivers. Trusted by organizations across finance, insurance, education, manufacturing, and SaaS, DAP enables SSO, MFA, and Zero Trust access in weeks — without costly rewrites.
