Case Study: Germany’s National Meteorological Service (DWD) achieves automated, role-based access and faster onboarding with NetIQ Identity Manager

NetIQ® Identity Manager supports seamless integration with business-critical systems, providing automatic, role-based staff access

Germany’s National Meteorological Service (Deutscher Wetterdienst, DWD) provides weather and climate information across Germany and must protect sensitive data while meeting compliance requirements. With 2,500 staff using a wide variety of systems, DWD needed fast, role-based provisioning for new hires, strict access revocation for leavers, and a way to avoid time-consuming, error-prone manual account management.

DWD deployed NetIQ Identity Manager with implementation and ongoing support from G + H Systems and added daccord for access governance, creating automated workflows that manage the full employee lifecycle and integrate with AD, Exchange, eDirectory and weather-data systems. The result: immediate, role-appropriate access from day one, instant termination of departed users, reduced human error, freed IT resources to focus on higher-value work, and simpler compliance reporting.
