Essex Online Partnership (EOLP) Case Study
| ESSEX ONLINE PARTNERSHIP FORGE AHEAD WITH SHARED AUTHENTICATION SERVICES ACROSS THE COUNTY |
 |
Introduction
Essex Online Partnership (EOLP) is an amalgamation of organisations working together on ICT projects across Essex. EOLP consists of local district, borough and unitary councils, Essex County Council, Essex Police and Essex County Fire Services. EOLP was formed in 2002 to work together to support the development of integrated and accessible local services to Essex citizens and businesses in ways that are convenient to them and would help organisations become more efficient. Since the partnerships inception over £1.76M has been saved across the enterprise.
The Challenge
Each authority within the partnership managed their own authentication solution, paying varying amounts for renewals and tokens. Up to 14 individual, potentially non resilient, expensive authentication solutions preventing the growth of strong authentication.
EOLP required a central resilient authentication solution that could be used by all the authorities. Furthermore EOLP required any solution to have the ability to add users and tokens at a minimal cost. Any solution was also required to scale to include citizens in the future.
