Executive Summary

From Manual Processes to Enterprise-Wide Automation

Cipla Limited, a global pharmaceutical company founded in 1935 and headquartered in Mumbai, India, markets 1,500+ products across major therapeutic areas and operates 46-47 manufacturing facilities worldwide, selling into 86 countries with a workforce of 30,000.

As part of its digital transformation agenda, Cipla needed a secure, efficient, and compliant system for managing user access across its vast enterprise ecosystem — a challenge addressed through AmpleLogic's UAM solution.

Cipla partnered with AmpleLogic to implement its User Access Management (UAM), replacing legacy manual user management with a fully automated, centralized digital platform. The UAM rollout now spans 15+ sites across India with plans to expand into China, and currently supports 18,000+ active users. The system integrates with SAP SuccessFactors and Active Directory (AD), while thousands of legacy records were migrated into the Cipla UAM system to ensure continuity and compliance.

The Problem

Challenges Cipla Faced

Before implementing AmpleLogic UAM, Cipla struggled with manual, fragmented user access management across its global operations.

Manual User Access Requests

Provisioning and deprovisioning of users relied on manual processes, resulting in inefficiencies, delays, and frequent errors across 46+ manufacturing facilities.

Fragmented Legacy Data

Historical records were dispersed across multiple systems, making tracking and reporting difficult and creating significant gaps in compliance documentation.

Time-Consuming Workflows

Coordination between IT, HR, and functional managers slowed approvals, creating bottlenecks that delayed employee onboarding and role changes.

Audit & Compliance Risks

Incomplete visibility and a lack of audit trails complicated regulatory inspections and made it difficult to demonstrate compliance during audits.

Scalability Concerns

Managing access across multiple sites and thousands of employees created bottlenecks that would only worsen as Cipla expanded its global operations.

The Solution

What AmpleLogic Implemented

AmpleLogic delivered a comprehensive, integrated User Access Management system that automated Cipla's entire user access lifecycle.

Centralized Request & Approval Application

All access requests are now routed through UAM — a single, centralized request and approval application replacing fragmented manual processes.

SAP SuccessFactors Integration

Seamless integration with SAP SuccessFactors for automated user details synchronization, ensuring HR data is always current and accurate across systems.

Active Directory Integration

Enterprise authentication and access enforcement through Active Directory integration, enabling single sign-on and automated provisioning/deprovisioning.

Legacy Data Migration

Thousands of historical user records were carefully migrated into Cipla's UAM, ensuring continuity, compliance, and zero data loss during transition.

Deployment Scale

18,000+ active users on the platform
15+ Indian sites deployed
China expansion in progress
