The aim of the tender is to select a standardized, up-to-date and future-proof IT solution for identity and access management, which is implemented for the Deutsche Bahn Group for cross-border and cross-division use in different organizations. In the case of the IT system to be procured and implemented, the client aims for an IAM standard solution available on the market, which is already being used successfully in practice outside the client's business area. It should be ensured that a mature and proven in practice purchase software is procured.

The focus is on the process of "Granting permissions to IT applications". Identity and access management in the DB Group ensures centralized management of identities and access rights to different systems and applications. Authentication and authorization of users are central functions of identity and access management. The actors, ie employees, external specialists and partners, who have access to and can process the corporate data, must be identifiable in these contexts and it must be ensured that each individual in the digital area of the Group has the right access at the right time and access rights.

The project aims to increase user usability, increase efficiency, increase information security (IT security), automate rights allocation processes, and enforce compliance to ensure compliance.

The purchase software for an identity management solution to be procured replaces the internal inventory system iMan and KVD and is referred to as "IAM" at the client. The project of the same name, with a term of 4-8 years, aims to procure, install and configure the purchase software, to implement client-specific extensions and to gradually integrate the entire IT system into the system landscape of DB Systel and into the To take over control operation.
