Global industrial manufacturer strengthens IAM operations with specialized engineering talent

The client, a global heavy equipment and industrial manufacturer, operates a large-scale identity and access management environment built on Ping Federate and Ping Access. The IAM team needed specialized engineering support to maintain daily operations, resolve incidents, and execute version upgrades and patching across the platform.

At the same time, the organization was planning a strategic migration toward Microsoft Entra and Azure AD B2C, requiring engineers who could contribute to design and migration planning while keeping the existing Ping infrastructure running smoothly. Finding IAM engineers with deep Ping platform experience combined with Microsoft identity migration knowledge proved difficult through traditional hiring channels.

Yearling Solutions placed two senior IAM engineers directly within the client's identity organization through a staff augmentation model. The engineers embedded with the internal team, working under the direction of the client's IAM management while bringing deep expertise in Ping identity platforms and automation scripting.

The placements provided the client with immediate, specialized IAM engineering capacity that would have taken months to source through traditional hiring. Both engineers integrated seamlessly into the existing team and began contributing to daily operations and strategic initiatives from the start.

The engagement demonstrates how Yearling's Talent on Demand model solves a real problem for enterprise IAM teams: finding engineers with deep platform-specific expertise who can contribute immediately. By embedding two practitioners with hands-on Ping and Microsoft identity experience, the client gained the specialized capacity needed to maintain operations and advance their migration strategy without the delays and overhead of traditional hiring.
