Case Studies

Customer profile

České Budějovice is a statutory town and the administrative and cultural capital of the South Bohemian Region. With 95 thousand inhabitants, České Budějovice is the largest city of the South Bohemian Region and its economic, administrative and cultural centre. It is the seat of several universities, important public institutions and offices.

Because of the very complex permission matrix affecting hundreds of users, whether employees or external staff and contractors, access control was very complicated and difficult to control. The introduction of IDM AC Identity has improved security, visibility and most importantly, rapidly increased the efficiency of permissions management.

Baseline and project objectives

The Statutory City of České Budějovice is the operator of an information system consisting of a number of agency information systems. Individual agenda systems, or also end systems, are used partly across the authority, partly they are highly specialised and are available only to selected groups of users. In all cases, it is necessary to set up a matrix of access and functional permissions for each individual end system (software) and each individual user.

Objectives of the AC Identity Management deployment:

Manage a multi-dimensional permission matrix affecting hundreds of users (employees, contractors or contractors) and multiple information systems,
Automation of both internal and external identity management,
increasing security, productivity, reducing the risk of data misuse,
integration of IDM with the Authority's systems.
