In our previous articles, we looked at the benefits and challenges that open source brings to enterprise IT, and why professional commercial support is essential for critical systems. Today, we will focus on a specific solution that brings these two worlds together: the modern open-source identity management system Wren:IDM. We will also show how we approach its development and support at Orchitech.

Finding an identity management (IDM) solution that is highly flexible, stable, supports compliance and minimises the risk of vendor lock-in can be challenging. At Orchitech, we build on the open-source Wren:IDM system – an identity management solution for which we are not merely a support reseller, but direct maintainers and active developers across the wider Wren Security ecosystem.

We can offer you a stable partnership backed by 18 years of experience from implementations in banks and public institutions.

What does the combination of Wren:IDM and Orchitech bring?

Wren:IDM combines the freedom of open code with the robustness required by medium-sized and large organisations. We provide our customers with a complete ecosystem of services and enhancements:

1. Enterprise extensions for seamless operations

We build on the solid open-source foundation of Wren:IDM and complement it with a set of practical tools for enterprise environments:

• Ready-made connectors: We use the Wren:ICF framework for rapid integration with standard enterprise systems. For specific, non-standard integrations, we provide universal connectors such as REST and database connectors.
• Customisable interface: We adapt the look, feel and functionality of the user interface to your organisation’s visual identity and internal processes.
• Operational best practices: We provide proven tools for standardised operations, monitoring and system administration.

2. Professional-grade security management

Wren:IDM is officially registered in the CVE.org programme. This means that security vulnerability management follows a clear, formal process and does not depend on random community activity. At Orchitech, we provide regular updates and guarantee full alignment with current security standards.

3. Preventive maintenance as standard

We do not wait for problems to appear. As part of our support, we carry out regular reviews of the entire system, in-depth log analysis and the detection of abnormal behaviour before it can become an incident.

4. Know-how proven in practice

We have completed dozens of successful implementations across a wide range of IT environments. We bring this experience into every new project – from correct architecture design to the configuration of specific use cases. This significantly shortens deployment time and eliminates common mistakes.

5. Ready for modern DevOps

Wren:IDM fully supports containerisation, operation in Kubernetes environments and the modern “configuration as code” approach.

Your identities under control. Securely and for the long term.

We believe in openness, excellence and fair partnership. With Wren:IDM, you get a modern identity management system that adapts to your growth. At Orchitech, we ensure that its operation remains secure, stable and sustainable in the long term.
