In October 2015, Amprion GmbH initiated an identity management project and selected Omada’s solution "Omada Identity Suite". Omada was selected due to its profound implementation experience from more than 170 identity management projects, combined with its great industry insight in the utility sector. In addition, key deciding factors were the modern architecture and great flexibility of the solution.
As a first step, Amprion plans to launch and operate an "Amprion Corporate Directory" (ACD). The ACD will provide a central data directory for Amprion’s internal and external employees. The establishment of the ACD will ensure that regular updates are managed correctly in connected target systems and applications. The solution also includes the option to further expand functionality with automated provisioning and self-service processes.
As an important European infrastructure operator, access risk management is essential. Amprion sees clear potential in the further development, implementation and utilization of identity management and access governance.
