29. Success Stories “Getting identity management out of the way was, surprisingly, a really big deal, both to these proud institutions, and to the federal government. Ever since this project started, we’ve become the NIH’s shining example of how to share data among disparate institutions.” - David Bernick, Director of Technology, Harvard Medical School Department of Bioinformatics “Setting up our application to integrate with one partner and then having that partner act as a service hub for dozens of identity systems helps simplify work for our core development teams, while allowing our customer base to grow exponentially.” – Cris Concepcion, Engineering Manager at Safari Books Online “Thanks you for your help. We saw over 1.3 million registrations and our campaign got a social media sentiment score of over 95% positive, so it has been deemed a great success!!” — AKQA – Agency implementing the campaign for Marks and Spencer Companies that trust Auth0 - https://auth0.com/customers
