Together with cidaas, DLG drives digitalization in the agriculture and food industry
Since its founding in 1885, the German Agricultural Society has been a driving force for scientific and technological progress in the fields of crop production, agricultural engineering, livestock farming, and food production and technology. As a leading organization in the agriculture, agribusiness, and food industry with more than 29,000 members, DLG acts as an open international network that brings together experts from practice, science, consulting, administration, and politics.
As an internationally connected organization with numerous digital services – ranging from websites and ticket shops to apps and digital communities – DLG faced the challenge of unifying its authentication processes and making them more user-friendly.
The goal was to create a central identity for different user groups such as association members or trade fair visitors and to significantly simplify registration and login across all digital channels. At the same time, high security requirements needed to be met while reducing administrative effort.
With cidaas Cloud Identity & Access Management (CIAM), DLG implemented a central authentication and authorization solution for all connected services.
The focus includes:
- Single Sign-On (SSO) for a unified login across all platforms and a consistent customer journey
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to secure sensitive data and ensure safe user access
- Progressive profiling to create user-friendly and gradual registration processes
- Group management for structured role and access control assignment
- Extensive user self-services that simplify administrative processes and reduce workload
By introducing a central identity, DLG creates a seamless user experience across all of its digital offerings while maintaining a high level of security.
The use of cidaas enables a simple, secure, and cross-channel login process for members, visitors, and other target groups. Through the introduction of a central identity, users benefit from a significantly improved user experience, as they only need to register once and can then conveniently access all connected services.
At the same time, the use of modern authentication procedures ensures a high level of security and reliably protects sensitive data. There are also clear benefits at the administrative level: Processes become more efficient, roles and access rights can be managed in a structured way, and self-services relieve internal resources.
Digitalization is a key lever for further advancing knowledge, innovation, and networking in the agriculture and food industry. With cidaas, we have a partner at our side who helps us provide our members and event participants with a secure and convenient digital user experience.
