Access to the company, a personal locker, or a network drive: For every employee, a multitude of permissions and access rights need to be activated – across various systems. A central ID management system makes this significantly faster and easier.

To securely integrate a new employee into the company, many traditional IT environments require a true generalist. This person needs to know how to operate the access control user interface, be familiar with the license plate recognition system in the underground garage, and, of course, understand the central Active Directory structure of the entire company. But then, who do I need to notify immediately so that the new person receives their laptop on their very first day?

Heterogeneous Structures

Especially in large companies, the system landscape is often an organically grown infrastructure. There are many different systems with just as many different user interfaces — operating them often harks back to the IT era before the introduction of the computer mouse.

Similarly, HR and security management must repeatedly navigate the entire system landscape to assign a person the permissions they need. That's why we have IDfunction PIAM consistently designed for results. Specific permissions can be easily assigned to any person with a click of the mouse — consistently via a web interface on various devices.

For example, if you want to grant access to the first floor between 9:00 and 18:00, you don't need to know which system is in use there. All necessary parameters are stored in IDfunction PIAM . The same applies to the assignment of assets, laptops, or company cars. The HR employee always sees only the familiar and functional user interface, even if individual security systems are changed or replaced. In this case, only the integration is updated.

Automatic Notifications

Just like the assignment of permissions, the notification system is largely automated and freely configurable. Upon new assignment or revocation of access authorization, an automatic notification is sent to the user.

If an employee is assigned a parking space, IDfunction PIAM automatically prompts them to provide their license plate number so that the license plate recognition system allows them into the company garage on their very first day. If they receive a company laptop, IDfunction PIAM immediately informs support when and where to provide the device.

Such an automated system can also react significantly faster to security threats: If an ID card is lost, all permissions can be blocked with just one click. IDfunction PIAM ensures that not a single unauthorized access point remains, even in the most remote corners of the operational IT system.

Individual Customization

An identity management system provides a central solution for managing permissions across various systems. We have incorporated this principle into IDfunction PIAM consistently delivered: intuitive to use, highly functional. We achieve maximum efficiency through cross-system integration. As a service provider, we adapt IDfunction PIAM to your individual requirements — across all system boundaries.

About us
For more than two decades, evolutionID has helped organizations bring clarity and control to identity and access. We focus on what matters most: secure, reliable processes that are simple to operate and built to last.

We bring together Physical Identity & Access Management (PIAM), card and employee management, and RFID‑supported workflows into one coherent approach. Our modular building blocks allow identity and access systems to adapt over time—without disrupting what already works. The result is less complexity, more transparency, and greater confidence in everyday operations.

As a long‑term partner, we guide our customers step by step—from analysis and architecture to implementation, migration, and ongoing support. With teams in Munich, Bonn, and Frankfurt, we work closely with organizations across the DACH region to create access infrastructures that stay secure, stable, and ready for what comes next.
