SLC Group Overcomes IT Scalability and Security Hurdles with Synology C2 Identity

Dr. Steven Kong, Chief Infrastructure Officer at SLC Group, was at the forefront of addressing the group's IT challenges. Initially, SLC Group relied on an on-prem directory server, which, while effective in the early stages, began to falter as the company scaled. The increasing number of connected clients led to performance and reliability issues. As more clinics were added, each required a VPN connection back to the main office, making them vulnerable to disruptions. Additionally, with the adoption of new cloud-hosted email and productivity solutions, there was a pressing need to safely connect their directory server to these services and enable the convenience of single-sign-on (SSO).

Dr. Kong's discovery of Synology's C2 Identity marked a turning point. "The simplicity of C2 Identity was a game-changer for us," he shared. "Its intuitive interface streamlined our operations, significantly reducing the challenges tied to staff training and implementation. Moreover, its scalability and integration capabilities were precisely what we needed for our expansion vision." 

The user-friendly interface of C2 Identity ensured a smoother transition, consolidating various functions into one accessible portal. Synology's design philosophy resonated with the group, ensuring that their expanding IT team could easily adopt future operations.

SLC Group seamlessly integrated C2 Identity as their primary identity provider for both on-prem and cloud services. Its robust SAML support facilitated easy SSO integration with popular cloud-hosted email providers and productivity tools. C2 Identity Edge Server nodes were deployed to ensure uninterrupted local device connectivity, guaranteeing stable operations even during potential internet disruptions. 

Beyond its secure framework, C2 Identity, paired with C2 Password, emerged as a formidable solution for team password management. It was designed with scalability in mind and became an invaluable asset for SLC Group's rapid expansion phase.

With Synology's C2 Identity at its core, SLC Group is not just gearing up for the future. Still, it is actively shaping it, ensuring a robust, efficient, and interconnected infrastructure as it ventures into new horizons.
