Hartela, founded in 1942, is one of Finland’s largest construction companies. It provides a wide range of construction and project development services, focusing on both residential and industrial buildings. The company was in a position where a new IAM system was needed, as no prior solution was in place. Seamless integration with existing infrastructure, particularly Active Directory (AD), was crucial for managing both on-premises and cloud resources.
After evaluating options, Hartela chose Appmore’s ServiceNow IAM application, which was successfully implemented with integrations to AD, Mepco HR, and IFS, creating a secure identity management framework. The solution was developed using REST APIs, JavaScript, NodeJS, and PowerShell, running on Windows environments to ensure compatibility with Hartela’s systems.
