Case Study: Union Investment achieves same-day system access and regulatory compliance with One Identity Identity Manager

Union Investment provides same-day system access and meets tougher auditing standards with single identity management solution

Union Investment, a German asset manager, needed to meet new regulatory requirements from the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (including a 10‑year record of access rights) and to speed up slow, largely manual provisioning and deprovisioning that could take three to four days. To address these challenges, Union Investment engaged One Identity (with partner iC Consult) and expanded its use of One Identity’s Identity Manager.

One Identity implemented Identity Manager for access lifecycle management across about 10,000 Active Directory accounts, introducing a web-based role-template approach (360 specialist roles covering up to 70 systems). The deployment enabled same-day system access instead of multiday waits, cut manual processes by roughly 50%, reduced role-based access requests to under one minute, and provided fully auditable records to satisfy the 10-year compliance requirement.
