Why it works
The case study earns New Capability because the core claim is that EBSCO could not cleanly onboard and offboard companies across untrusted AD domains before Okta, not that it merely got faster. The competitive displacement of Ping, Duo, and Microsoft AD FS is explicit, making the switch flag warranted. Resilience is a clear secondary theme: reducing risk exposure and gaining login anomaly detection are framed as wins in their own right.
Steal this
Anchoring the M&A use case in a vivid operational reality (buying and selling subsidiaries constantly) before any product detail makes the problem feel urgent and specific, not generic.
