The Challenge

Your clients need professional identity management. But operating an identity provider ties up resources you don't have.

Rising Demand

SSO, MFA and zero trust are in higher demand than ever. Your clients expect a central identity solution – not scattered password lists.

Limited Resources

Operating an identity provider requires specialized expertise in OIDC, SAML, LDAP and 24/7 availability – capacity most IT teams lack.

Margin Over Effort

You want to offer identity as a service to your clients without running, patching and monitoring servers yourself.

How the Partnership Works

Three steps to shared success.

01

Quick call and framework agreement. You get access to our portal where you can provision instances directly for your clients.

02

Onboard Clients

You create a new instance for your client in the portal. Custom domain, custom configuration – ready in minutes.
