Identity management without the enterprise price tag.

§ 02 — What it changes

The economics finally work for companies your size.

01 / TCO

Up to 90% lower 5-year TCO.

Enterprise IDM has never been an option for SMBs — ~€230/user/month over five years once setup, consulting, and ops are included. At €25/seat/month, flat, the same level of governance is finally within reach. Modeled on a 100-employee company with a typical access stack.

02 / Setup

Days, not months.

No six-figure implementation project. No army of consultants flying in for a year.

03 / Ownership

Run by your existing team.

Designed so a non-specialist IT lead can configure and operate it. No certified-IDM-engineer hire required.
