AWS Control Tower Customers

  • RCA

    RCA has been a software provider for Chartered Accountants for over 20 years in France.

    We started using AWS Control Tower at the beginning of our migration project to set up a multi-account environment, improve security levels, and benefit from pre-made rules of best practices without having to worry about them. We were looking to put in place an account strategy, governance, and good management of security rules from the start of our project. AWS Control Tower enabled us to set up the first organizational structure that can easily evolve later. It also allowed us to configure AWS IAM Identity Center (Successor to AWS Single Sign-On) and centralize access logs in a dedicated account. AWS Control Tower enabled us to bring default security elements that could have been omitted initially. With AWS Control Tower, we noticed around 50% productivity improvement in our deployments of controls and around 20% improvement in our account creation and landing operations.
