The British Medical Association (BMA) is the trade union and professional body representing doctors in the UK. It is formally recognized for collective bargaining at national and local levels, advocating for doctors’ rights, negotiating pay, and improving working conditions. BMA provides various products and services to its members, aimed at supporting their professional growth and workplace needs.
The Challenge
BMA’s diverse applications, built by different vendors and technologies, used Identity Access Management for Single Sign-On (SSO). These applications generated extensive member activity data, such as logins, password resets, account status changes, and application usage. BMA faced challenges in effectively collecting, processing, and analyzing this data to gain actionable insights into member behavior and improve their services.
