Identity Management - IDM

What is an identity management system?

An identity management system (IDM - Identity Management) monitors and assists in the management of the life cycle of employees and various positions in the organization. This system is of great importance in the context of setting up user accounts, granting access permissions to information systems, files, databases, computer systems, and diverse physical resources. An identity management system is an important and critical tool in large and medium-sized organizations. The IDM system is also essential in the context of personnel management and overall system operation. EDP manages many successful projects in the field of identity management.
