Fraport is engaged in a long-term project to transform Frankfurt Airport into not only a major transportation hub, but also as a center for business and retail. In addition to its thousands of employees, Fraport must also work with numerous external partners, which will only increase as expansion continues. Novell's user provisioning solution, Novell Identity Manager, provides Fraport with a scalable framework for identity and security management, including access control and validation across a complex organizational structure, ensuring compliance with government regulations and internal policies.
"As we begin construction on a major third terminal to Frankfurt Airport,
we will be increasing staffing levels tremendously," said Dr.
In addition to optimizing user management tasks and automatically synchronizing changes across all systems, Novell Identity Manager provides clear, fully auditable approval workflows that will ensure Fraport's corporate policies are implemented reliably. Novell Identity Manager also allows Fraport IT staff to assign access rights at the touch of a button and enables users to reset their own passwords, saving third party helpdesk fees.
As Fraport increases the number of applications and functional areas integrated into the identity management solution and as regulatory requirements change, the company will introduce role-based provisioning, with approval workflows secured using smartcards.
"Fraport is experiencing the same type of growth that many of our
customers are facing," said
