Overview

Nebraska-based student loan servicer Nelnet has no shortage of funds to juggle — representing 20 different businesses across 4 divisions as the nation’s largest and most respected student loan services.

With so many customers depending on it, Nelnet knew it needed to ensure its information remained in the right hands. So when it came down to keeping data secure, ProofID (formerly Regatta Solutions Group) had it covered.

Working with ProofID, Nelnet was able to successfully implement and advance SailPoint IdentityIQ, one of the industry’s best-in-class on-premises and identity and access management solution — giving 42% of U.S. students one less thing to worry about when it comes to who is managing their data.

The Challenges

The first step of any access management journey is selecting the right IAM solution.

After a presentation at the SailPoint Navigate Conference, Nelnet knew SailPoint IdentityIQ was the best set of solutions for it. Going into the partnership, Nelnet felt an immediate trust with ProofID based on its vast experience working with SailPoint — especially since the technology is a significant investment of time and resources. With ProofID’s help, Nelnet implemented SailPoint AI Services in 2021 and continues to evolve the technology to make waves across the company.

Not only has ProofID been instrumental in implementing IdentityIQ, but it also set Nelnet on a course for success with its proprietary Identity FastTrack methodology. Over the last year alone, ProofID significantly improved the number of applications Nelnet was able to implement. Along the way, the discovery step of the process proved especially critical. Discovery gave Nelnet visibility of which applications needed implementation, what their employees needed access to, and what they didn’t — all in priority order.

Results

Earning an A+ IAM implementation.

At Nelnet, identity success once seemed more like a daydream than a reality. “We were basically told to do everything you’re not supposed to do,” said Nelnet IT Director, Dane Paulsen. Luckily for Nelnet, ProofID was there to part the sea of chaos and confusion. ProofID made Nelnet’s SailPoint IdentityIQ implementation a breeze with dashboards and insights for real-time results, Identity Factory for reaching new integration highs, and agile methods and tools for accelerated production and development.
