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.
