Clicking instead of coding: How medium-sized companies halve their IAM costs<\/strong><\/h1><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why traditional IAM projects regularly go over budget<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

A Bavarian mechanical engineering company planned 180,000 euros and an eight-month project duration for its IAM project. After 16 months, the bill stood at 420,000 euros and the system was still not running satisfactorily.<\/p>\n

This scenario is repeated regularly in German companies. While the threat situation is becoming more critical and identity management is becoming a business priority, traditional IAM projects are becoming significant cost drivers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Consulting-intensive approaches as a cost trap<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

Traditional IAM implementations begin with extensive consulting phases. External consultants carry out detailed requirements analyses, document individual requirements and develop customized solution concepts.<\/p>\n

The result: every system integration becomes an individual project. SAP connections require custom development, Active Directory integrations need special adapters, HR systems need individual interfaces. After the first year, the costs are often over 420,000 euros instead of the planned 180,000 euros.<\/p>\n

With No-Code IAM, this process is reduced to three weeks of productive implementation for an investment of 51,000 euros. A part-time IT administrator can configure the ready-made templates and connectors. This corresponds to a cost saving of around 70% and a time reduction of 87%.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Maintenance costs as a long-term burden factor<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

However, the real costs arise after implementation. Traditional IAM systems require continuous maintenance by specialists. Annual maintenance contracts amount to 20-25% of the original acquisition costs. Updates become complex integration projects, as each individual development must be checked for compatibility.<\/p>\n

A medium-sized company can have costs of over 600,000 euros for its IAM system over five years – without significant increases in efficiency.<\/p>\n

This is precisely why standardized solutions have a long-term advantage: they significantly reduce maintenance costs, as updates can be carried out more easily and without costly reworking. Individual adaptations, on the other hand, increase the risk of malfunctions and security vulnerabilities with each new version and mean that companies often remain on outdated system versions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

No-code IAM: Systematic cost reduction<\/strong><\/h2><\/h2><\/div>

No-code identity & access management solutions offer an alternative approach. Instead of individual developments, companies use preconfigured but customizable systems with standardized connectors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
