In today's cloud self-service portals, it is possible to assemble and configure complex IT infrastructures within minutes. While this ease of access is standard for cloud resources, it remains a significant challenge for IAM resources: connecting applications to single sign-on or granting access to various resources often takes days or even weeks.
In this case study, we share how SBB embedded the provisioning of IAM capabilities directly into the enterprise self-service processes — without compromising security. By pairing productized IAM services with automated guardrails, policy-driven workflows, and clear accountability, we significantly reduced lead times for consumers while shifting responsibility to the natural owners: application teams and business product owners. Risks are managed where they originate, and our Identity Fabric is integrated with the overarching IT service management processes.

Mercedes has been using and adopting its legacy on-prem PAM system for many years, managing more than 10.000 privileged users and 200.000 accounts. Being an early adopter in the PAM space has delivered many benefits but also had the caveat that the underlying tech stack has still been the same. The decision has been taken to migrate this critical system into a new, modern cloud solution, which enables Mercedes to leverage new features, reduce cost and react faster to the fast-changing requirements.
This talk will provide an overview about the migration project, challenges which appeared as well as discuss lessons learned.

Modern identity teams face accelerated change as legacy IAM meets cloud first architectures and distributed applications. This panel explores proven modernization patterns, shifting federation strategies, and the organizational changes needed to keep identity programs moving forward. Speakers will share where large enterprises succeed and where they struggle when updating IAM under real world constraints. Attendees will gain practical guidance on aligning architecture and governance, improving integration across hybrid environments, and avoiding common pitfalls in large-scale modernization efforts.
