Ithaca Hummus is a fast-growing food and beverage brand specializing in packaged hummus products.
Alongside product innovation and food safety compliance, the organization required a secure and
standardized IT infrastructure to support employee onboarding, device management, and Microsoft
365 collaboration tools.
Overview
Before this project, Ithaca Hummus faced challenges while reassigning corporate laptops to new
employees. Devices previously used by former employees needed to be securely reprovisioned
without carrying over data, identities, or access policies.
Ensuring compliance with enterprise security standards while avoiding onboarding delays was
critical. Our team implemented a secure, compliant, and repeatable device reprovisioning process
integrated with Microsoft 365, Azure Active Directory, and Microsoft Intune.
