Case Study: Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) protects decades of climate research while enabling scientist access with One Identity's Identity Manager

AWI protects data to advance the science of climate change

AWI (Alfred Wegener Institute) conducts marine and polar research to understand climate change and needed to balance scientists’ need for open, creative access to information with strict control over the integrity and security of more than 50 years’ worth of research data. To meet this challenge, AWI turned to One Identity and implemented Identity Manager.

One Identity’s Identity Manager delivered flexible, automated identity and access management that preserved researcher self‑service while enforcing stringent protection and structured access controls. The solution enabled easy integration with SAP and other systems, automated user provisioning for AWI’s ~3,000 employees and guests, and helped safeguard five decades of research data—improving efficiency and data security across the institute.
