Many organizations have developed multiple portals, both within the consumer and the business domain over the last 10 years to have an online presence. Sometimes reinforced by mobile applications. Most portals were homegrown solutions.

Maintenance was on-premise and security, access management & digital identity lifecycle management was included in all these different portals.

As a result of this process, further development became more costly and time-consuming, both from a business perspective as well as from a security perspective since both complex disciplines became more and more intertwined during the time.
