Manitoba Hydro has always been ahead of the curve when it came to customer experiences. But with 800,000+ customers, the company quickly outgrew the authentication platform their customers used to access essential applications. The company began exploring new authentication and security solutions that would allow them to continue delivering seamless, secure, and best-in-class experiences while minimizing disruption and reducing costs.
“We are committed to providing our customers with the best possible experience. This means offering them excellent service and ensuring our online platform remains efficient, secure, and up to date.”
“At our stage of growth, our prior solution had become too costly. Our goal was to standardize our application platform and cut costs to become more efficient.”
See how Manitoba Hydro achieved their goals of cutting costs, minimizing disruption, and putting the customer experience first as they seamlessly transitioned to a new authentication solution with the help of WBM and F5.
