\n Initial Situation & Client Profile <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n <\/div>\n
\n How do you manage digital and physical access rights for over 8,500 employees \u2013 securely, transparently, and efficiently?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The municipality of Utrecht faced precisely this challenge. Together with SITS|Traxion, a modern Identity & Access Management solution based on Omada was introduced. The success story shows how Utrecht set up a future-proof IAM structure with SITS|Traxion - from process analysis to successful implementation.<\/p>\n

\n The Challenge <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n Secure and transparent access control. <\/div>\n
\n For years, access rights in Utrecht were managed manually, inconsistently, and with high error potential. Access cards of former employees remained in circulation, roles were poorly defined, and IT-independent processes were lacking.<\/p>\n

The goal was to implement a centralized, user-friendly, and auditable solution that could reliably manage both digital and physical access<\/strong> \u2013 while remaining flexible enough to handle exceptions like interns or urgent access revocations. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Implementation <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n From process analysis to a living IAM solution <\/div>\n
\n SITS|Traxion supported the municipality of Utrecht from the initial process start to the technical implementation. The cooperation with DomstadIT and the specialist departments was close, solution-oriented and based on partnership.<\/p>\n

Special attention was paid to usability, flexibility, and traceability. Even challenges like limited resources in departments were overcome through pragmatic solutions and targeted communication. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\nManagers and HR can manage access rights independently, without involving IT. Special cases like extended access for interns or immediate revocations are handled with just a few clicks.<\/p>\n

The foundation for a secure, scalable, and future-ready IAM structure has been laid \u2013 and further development is already planned. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
