Manage identities across systems with PeopleConnect
PeopleConnect is a powerful IAM cloud service that helps companies organize, categorize, and actively manage identities independently of the original system.

Management of different identity types
PeopleConnect enables you to maintain different types of digital identities in a structured and context-related manner:
- Employees: internal users with roles, permissions, and master data
- External: e.g., freelancers, consultants, or project staff
- Customers: business contacts with their own set of attributes
- Partners: suppliers or cooperation partners with separate administration
- Personal contacts: individual contacts that are maintained independently of roles
- Rooms: conference rooms or offices with telephone number, location, and equipment
- Devices: phones, printers, or other assets that are managed as identities
Each identity can be assigned specific attributes that precisely match its type, such as responsibilities, role, location, project affiliation, or skills.
To make this process easier, templates are available:
They ensure that the appropriate attributes are automatically provided for each identity type. This makes the creation of new identities consistent and traceable.
The combination of flexible attribute maintenance and templates creates a structured, dynamic database that can be used directly for processes, projects, and collaboration.
Origin of identity data
PeopleConnect is a cloud service provided by the my-IAM platform, which can collect and consolidate identity data from various sources. This creates a comprehensive, system-independent database that companies can use for management purposes.
How can identity data be integrated into PeopleConnect?
☁️ M365 / Entra ID: PeopleConnect automatically recognizes and maps all users from M365 or Entra ID.
🔗 RestAPI for applications: Identity data from partner or customer databases and other applications can be integrated automatically.
📥 CSV import: Data can be conveniently transferred from existing systems or exports via CSV file.
✍🏼 Manual creation: New identities can be created manually in PeopleConnect at any time and assigned the appropriate attributes.
This flexibility ensures that organizations can merge their identities from a wide variety of source systems and process them centrally in PeopleConnect.
Edit existing identities and keep them up to date
PeopleConnect enables active maintenance of existing identities:
Attributes such as role, department, location, or skills can be edited at any time.
PeopleConnect utilizes a powerful repository that centrally manages and controls connected sources. Changes to external identity data are stored in the my-IAM platform. In addition, PeopleConnect automatically applies changes to Entra ID users and other connected systems, if desired.
Permissions control who is allowed to edit which information, ensuring security and data protection. This creates a structured and dynamic database that organizations can actively use.
Structuring & categorization for efficient processes
PeopleConnect goes one step further.
Categorization by roles and affiliations: PeopleConnect provides clear management of employees, teams, and external partners.
Individual identity categories are available in PeopleConnect.
Making skills and competencies visible: PeopleConnect records knowledge, experience, and specialist skills in a targeted manner, thereby identifying the right people for projects or tasks.
PeopleConnect offers comprehensive, smart search capabilities. This makes it possible to find people with specific skills and important expertise.
Integration in existing tools: Companies use PeopleConnect directly in Microsoft Teams, Outlook or as a web app.
Practical benefits for companies
✅ PeopleConnect makes it possible to quickly create, categorize, and continuously maintain new identities. Templates give the data a uniform structure and minimize errors.
Existing identities can be updated at any time and adapted to new roles or responsibilities.
PeopleConnect offers granular permissions that precisely control who can view or edit which information. Critical or sensitive data can be specifically restricted so that it is only visible to a small, defined group of users. This allows companies to ensure that confidential information remains protected.
Another major practical benefit for companies is that PeopleConnect can centrally display identities from a wide variety of systems. Employees, partners, customers, and resources appear in one place. This allows organizations to maintain an overview at all times, quickly identify connections, and make decisions based on current data.
Conclusion
In modern organizations, digital identities are much more than just a name, email address, or phone number. They represent roles, responsibilities, competencies, and affiliations. This is important information that is crucial for efficient processes, projects, and collaboration.
PeopleConnect enables the structured management of digital identities based on flexible templates, editing functions, and clear categorization. Organizations benefit from consistent data, efficient maintenance, and transparent structures, and can actively manage identities instead of just displaying them.
