Unified User Management for Digital Health Services

Efficient management of users, roles, and access rights across all applications.

Starting situation

As part of the digitalization of the public health service (ÖGD), many authorities faced the same challenge: data, applications, and user access were distributed across different systems and only loosely interconnected.

With new digital processes and increasing demands for collaboration, transparency, and speed, it became clear that existing structures were reaching their limits. The goal was to modernize this evolved system landscape and create a consistent digital working foundation for the ÖGD.
