Access Controls Implementation

A One-Week Access Controls Implementation for Second Harvest Heartland

Second Harvest Heartland was dealing with sensitive data and multiple partners on a centrally managed system, so their team needed a solution that would adhere to HIPAA guidelines for data security.

"Accelare is very different from other ServiceNow partners in our area. They care more about the relationship & making sure that they are meeting our needs as opposed to having us ‘fit’ into how they do business."
