Constantly changing legal requirements and standards that need to be met mean increasing administrative efforts in companies. Heterogeneous IT system landscapes result in increased effort with regard to the authorizations required in the systems, for example when new employees are onboarded, positions are changed within the company, or colleagues leave the company. This makes audit-proof, traceable and evaluable documentation within user management necessary, especially in larger groups.
The challenge
