As Ergon expanded into international markets and new cloud platforms, their governance needs outgrew SAP-only tools. With Pathlock Cloud, they gained a scalable solution to manage access risk, compliance, and provisioning across SAP and beyond.
A Growing Business Needed Governance Beyond SAP ECC
Ergon, a privately held multi-billion-dollar enterprise spanning energy, logistics, construction, and more, had long relied on Pathlock Native (formerly Security Weaver) to manage access and compliance in SAP ECC. However, as the company launched international business units on S/4HANA Private Cloud and introduced additional cloud platforms, such as Salesforce and SAP BTP, its security and governance needs became more complex.
To keep pace, Ergon needed a solution that extended beyond SAP. They required centralized capabilities for compliant provisioning, Segregation of Duties (SoD) analysis, and user access reviews; not just in SAP, but across a growing portfolio of applications.
Pathlock Cloud Delivers Unified Governance for SAP and Beyond
Working with their longtime Pathlock team, Ergon transitioned to Pathlock Cloud to modernize and expand their governance capabilities. From day one, Pathlock Cloud supported Ergon’s new S/4HANA environment with built-in tools for SoD analysis, emergency access, user certifications, and compliant provisioning, all accessible through a modern and intuitive interface.
Crucially, the cloud-based solution gave Ergon the flexibility to extend the same trusted controls they relied on in SAP ECC to additional platforms, including Salesforce and SAP BTP. This meant Ergon could manage access risk across their evolving IT landscape without sacrificing functionality or user experience.
Scalable Risk Management for a Multi-System Future
With Pathlock Cloud, Ergon maintained continuity in their access governance approach while expanding its reach. Teams across the business benefit from streamlined access requests and automated risk checks, while audit and compliance teams gain better visibility into SoD and user activity across applications.
As Ergon continues to grow, Pathlock Cloud ensures their governance model scales with them, enabling a consistent, cross-platform approach to identity security.
Having this flexibility as we grow is the best of both worlds. We are keeping the functionality we value, and we’re simultaneously expanding to meet our evolving governance needs.
