OnFulfillment Gives Back: Yesenia Montiel Helps Stray Dogs in Mexico Through UnPerroalavez Charity

When Yesenia Montiel and her husband relocated from California to Mexico in 2022 to be closer to her aging in-laws, she couldn’t believe what she saw.

“I was shocked at how many stray dogs there were,” says Yesenia, a Strategic Account Manager at OnFulfillment for the past six years. “Too many.”

It didn’t take long for this situation to land on their doorstep. Within a week of arriving at their new home slightly north of Veracruz, Yesenia and her husband were awakened by a dog crying outside their door. “I got up and saw the dog, who was shivering,” she recalls. “She had very little hair, which it turns out was caused by scabies, so she was very sick.” To make matters worse, someone had poured burnt motor oil on the animal, believing it would help with the scabies.

“I started crying,” says Yesenia. “We knew we had to do something, so we brought her into the garage, called a vet, and got her into treatment right away. After about three weeks, she was in pretty good shape—we were astonished at how quickly she recovered with the appropriate treatment.”

Enhancing User Experience and Security with Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM)

In today’s digital age, where business is increasingly conducted online and virtual exchanges are the primary method of personal interaction, ensuring a seamless and, more importantly, secure user experience is absolutely critical.

One of the key obstacles to achieving this goal lies in the ability to effectively manage user identities and access. While user-friendly and convenient single sign-on (SSO) technology is typically used in these cases, it can pose a security risk if it's not well-managed or properly deployed. A better solution is required.

Enter Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM), a solution that is revolutionizing the way organizations handle these authentication and authorization processes. Not only does CIAM enhance the capabilities of existing SSO solutions, it also enhances both user convenience and security, providing a level of comfort that businesses are looking for.

Today, we thought it would be appropriate to end this journey by acknowledging the people who made it all possible.
