Merck partnered with Exostar to redefine business-to-business engagements by creating a Life-Sciences Identity Broker in the Cloud. This secure cloud-based hub is where teams from multiple companies can access any number of technology services through a multi-tenant identity broker, protecting sensitive data and intellectual property from unauthorized access. The result included the reduction of time to stand up business-to-business collaborations, minimized administrative cost, and elimination of the need to replicate redundant technology infrastructure. In addition, the model improves the security and risk profiles for these teams by moving away from point-to-point engagements to a highly-scalable service model that can be monitored and protected from outside threats.
