New Identity Management Infrastructure for Visana

Visana is the service leader among Swiss health and accident insurers with more than 840’000 basic insured individuals.

The project 

The Swiss health insurer Visana managed approx. 1750 employee accounts to which authorizations were assigned by more than 140 roles. To enhance management of user-related data, Visana required a new identity management infrastructure (IMI).

The goal: Provide a new IMI which ensures higher data consistency, lower administration effort, better security and transparency (e.g. automatic role assignment).

The process: Integrate the SAP-HR system into the IMI by a connector, so that the IMI can retrieve the required information on users and organizational units. Based on this information, the mapping rules – maintained by a workflow within IMI – are applied to automatically assign roles.

The result: A system-aided authorization process, which is a major benefit in terms of currentness, process quality and traceability. Subsequently, additional features were implemented, such as a new role model based on Syrius ASE and a nightly task to retrieve LDAP information.
