A B O U T M E T S Ä

Metsä Group is is a forest industry group whose core business consists

of tissue and cooking papers, paperboard, pulp, wood products, and

wood supply and forest services.

T H E C H A L L E N G E

Managing the 122,000 owner-member ID entities of the Metsä Group with its

previous technology was inefficient and costly. Metsä Group needed a more

robust and scalable solution for their Metsäverkko (forestnet) extranet portal,

used by their owner-members. Their previous IAM system also did not have

support for delegating authorisation.

S O L U T I O N

— U B I S E C U R E C U S T O M E R I D was adopted to facilitate owner-member

registration and authorisation between forest owners.

— U B I S E C U R E S S O provides Single Sign-On across the various parts of the

extranet as well as strong authentication where needed, such as transactions or

tax reporting.

B E N E F I T S

The adoption of the Ubisecure IAM system has provided easy registration and

access for the 122,000 owner-members.

Efficient operation and customer convenience as owner-members can authorise

a single person to sell assets in co-owned plots without having to call Metsä

Group’s customer service or fill out letters of authorisation.
