IAM Software
as an open source solution
With IAM Software as a Service, we offer a powerful and secure IT solution that is indispensable for the efficient management of digital identities. It relieves the burden on public clients, universities, hospitals and non-profit organizations, as well as companies that have to manage limited resources – reliably, scalably and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Our solution combines the best of both worlds: the stability of a tried-and-tested platform with the transparency of an open source architecture. We take care of the installation, integration, operation and maintenance – as Software as a Service (SaaS) on servers in Germany and with developers from Europe.
IAM software as a service means that you do not need your own operating personnel for the system itself, nor do you have to worry about ongoing maintenance and regular updates. You always have a competent partner who is there for you and bundles their knowledge and skills across many of their customers. This brings experience and reliability on the one hand and efficiency with cost benefits on the other.
A concrete use case for IAM software:
Automated authorization management for students and lecturers
A university usually manages several thousand to tens of thousands of digital identities:
students, teaching staff, academic staff and administrative staff. These roles can also overlap and be combined in one person, as it is not uncommon for students to work as research assistants or take on teaching duties as part of their doctorate. In addition, it is necessary to be able to map different organizational structures in parallel, as in addition to the classic organizational structure, the departments and degree programs must also be mapped and the relationship of the digital identities to these.
When a student enrols or is newly employed, user accounts must be created automatically and as soon as possible or at a specific time, system access must be activated and authorizations must be assigned correctly – for example for the learning platform, e-mail, VPN, library systems or examination administration.
A university is therefore a good example of possible complexity that must be mastered by a good identity and access management solution. With IAM as a Service, we see ourselves as a provider of prepared solutions that can be used to map the special requirements of such organizations.
With our IAM software:
-
User administration
Automated provision and maintenance of user accounts based on data from the respective campus management system (e.g. HISinOne) or the personnel management system (e.g. SAP HCM) -
Access rights
Role-based assignment and revocation of access rights according to the organizational unit, department, degree programme, status or function fully automatically -
Synchronization
Regular synchronization with directory services and applications for provisioning accounts and rights, but also for identifying unauthorized changes in the target systems (reconciliation) -
Logging
Seamless logging of all changes to ensure compliance with internal guidelines and legal requirements and audit-proof proof of who, when, why and which rights were granted
The result: consistent, secure and efficient identity management that noticeably reduces the burden on universities and at the same time enables smooth digital processes for everyone involved.
Digital sovereignty
– not just a claim, but a principle
The IAM Software as a Service offering from IAM Factory AG stands for a transparent, secure and controllable IT solution.
That’s why our open source IAM software is based on open source and the principle of shared resource responsibility. You decide what happens to your data – not external platforms from outside Europe.

Integration of our IAM software
Our IAM Software as a Service is designed to fit into existing infrastructures without changing them.
Relevant source and target systems are reliably connected via standardized interfaces and protocols to automatically start defined processes and trigger rule-compliant access based on changes in your source systems.
In addition to the interfaces to the common source and target systems, a large number of other interfaces are available to connect even small or unusual systems to the IAM.
This modular openness makes our IAM solution a future-proof and secure platform for your digital identity management.
As part of our customer projects, new interfaces are also constantly being developed and incorporated into the standard. Feel free to contact us – together we will find a solution for your requirements.
