go:Identity - The IAG Appliance
go:Identity is the preconfigured identity management software that can be deployed extremely quickly for user administration and administration of access rights.
With its standards and best practice functions, go:Identity finally enables Identity Management and Access Management (IAM - Identity Access Management) and Identity Access Governance (IAG) for companies of all sizes.
More than 50 out-of-the-box connectors for the connection to and integration of external target systems and databases exist and can be flexibly configured.
Because of its quick implementation, with automated user, access and role management, go:Identity helps increase security and reduce costs in the company. Compliance requirements are met and user friendliness is guaranteed. The perfect Identity Manager Tool.
We can implement a typical IDM project, involving MS Active Directory® and synchronization with an HR data source, with an external effort of only 10 days (more information on this below).
Together with the optional go:Identity Secure Access Module, go:Identity offers a comprehensive Identity and Access Management solution.

Success Stories
Why use a preconfigured solution like go:Identity?
How can you still automate standard use cases cost-effectively and without much effort?
go:Identity is up and running faster than more traditional Identity & Access Management solutions for the same use cases. It includes features like user provisioning and de-provisioning, user self-service and approval workflows, just to name a few.
Projects with conventional IDM solutions
- Component selection
- Process analysis
- IDM best-practice definitions

- High implementation cost
- Long project cycles
- Less to none standardisation

+ secure standards
+ compliance without effort
Minimal project risk withgo:Identity
The out-of-the-box approach significantly reduces project risk in our projects. Thanks to the built-in best practice, the processes and functions have already proven their suitability.
Instead of long-running projects with imprecise, slowly emerging results, go:Identity immediately gives you an almost-finished system. It only needs to be configured instead of programmed.
A typical project
IDM projects are not rocket science and do not have to be as complex as it is often portrayed.
Right out of the box, go:Identity offers the exact functions that are important for identity management and that have already proven themselves hundreds of times in practice.
We can realize a complete IDM project, e.g.
- with Active Directory® as the target system and
- connection of a HR data source
in collaboration with our customers, with an external effort of
just 10 days
from the first requirements workshop to the go-live.
Stay flexible with go:Identity
The approach is important
Think in phases so you can start the 1st phase with goals that will quickly bring the greatest benefit, e.g. in the form of reduced effort and increased security.
Additional features can be added in later phases:
-
other target systems (e.g. SAP, Office365, etc.)
-
further automation other scenarios such as access management
-
customer-specific extensions of all kinds
-
and much more.
You can be confident that go:Identity is always prepared for future requirements.
Typical Use Cases for Identity Management
- Use Case "Automation"
- Use Case "Manage Fileshare Access"
- Use Case "Cloud and Azure AD"
- Use Case "Compliance Audit"
Challenge:
Does high risk = high cost?
A distribution system operator had to provide secure access to critical infrastructure. Managing accounts and maintaining access was error-prone and cumbersome.
Solution:
Automation reduces risk and cost
go:Identity automated account and entitlement management by standardizing the processes. Transparency and high efficiency significantly reduced imminent security risks.
Challenge:
Administration of fileshare permissions
Solution:
Automation, self-service and approval processes
With go:Identity, IT now grants access to fileshares automatically based on the employee’s tasks. Users can request additional access in the go:Identity IT-Shop. The responsible persons approve them, and IT assigns them without any manual steps. Those responsible can now regularly check and correct authorizations. Any authorizations that are not needed are automatically withdrawn.
Challenge:Azure AD was out of the loop
An electronic parts manufacturer was struggling to integrate Azure AD into central business processes for managing accounts and permissions.
Solution:
Do not exclude cloud services
go:Identity established a secure bridge between the central applications and Azure AD, with real-time synchronization and high data consistency. Azure AD is now integrated despite its location in the cloud.
Challenge:Compliance audit passed only narrowly
A German financial institution did not fully pass a compliance audit and was facing stiff financial penalties. They found their employee access management was out of compliance. Reporting and attestation were missing as well.
Solution:Compliance achieved rapidly!
go:Identity consolidated all of the business applications for central permissions management, including attestation and reporting, into a central interface. By doing so, it successfully solved the abovementioned points.
