Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has taken a decisive leap forward in bolstering digital identity and access management (IAM) capabilities with the acquisition of Dignari, LLC, a prominent technology consulting firm known for its expertise in cutting-edge IAM solutions. This acquisition is not only a testament to EY’s commitment to supporting U.S. government initiatives but also a strategic expansion into robust homeland security operations, impacting both the public and private sectors.

Dignari’s Decade-Long Expertise Adds Immediate Value

Founded in 2013, Dignari has led impactful federal initiatives through data-driven approaches and prototyping emerging technologies for improved performance measurement and mission execution. With over 300 skilled professionals, the company has consistently delivered scalable IAM solutions, notably enhancing security outcomes for federal clients and furthering homeland security objectives.

EY’s Government & Public Sector Leader, Doree Keating, praised Dignari’s addition to EY, highlighting the unique value it brings to EY’s mission-ready solutions. She believes Dignari’s IAM capabilities will create a distinct competitive edge in serving government clients.

The Future of Public & Private Sectors Through Enhanced Security Capabilities

Alexa foresees EY’s acquisition as an opportunity to amplify public sector outcomes, creating a secure, technology-driven future.

EY’s Whitt Butler, Consulting Vice Chair for EY Americas, noted that Dignari’s IAM expertise will also resonate with private sector players, from financial services to airlines, underscoring that EY’s vision for the acquisition transcends public sector value.
