A B O U T M E T S Ä
Metsä Group is is a forest industry group whose core business consists
of tissue and cooking papers, paperboard, pulp, wood products, and
wood supply and forest services.
T H E C H A L L E N G E
Managing the 122,000 owner-member ID entities of the Metsä Group with its
previous technology was inefficient and costly. Metsä Group needed a more
robust and scalable solution for their Metsäverkko (forestnet) extranet portal,
used by their owner-members. Their previous IAM system also did not have
support for delegating authorisation.
S O L U T I O N
— U B I S E C U R E C U S T O M E R I D was adopted to facilitate owner-member
registration and authorisation between forest owners.
— U B I S E C U R E S S O provides Single Sign-On across the various parts of the
extranet as well as strong authentication where needed, such as transactions or
tax reporting.
B E N E F I T S
The adoption of the Ubisecure IAM system has provided easy registration and
access for the 122,000 owner-members.
Efficient operation and customer convenience as owner-members can authorise
a single person to sell assets in co-owned plots without having to call Metsä
Group’s customer service or fill out letters of authorisation.
