Centralized control over identity, access, audit trails, and lifecycle—rather than retroactive monitoring after deployment. Governance is an integral part of the Simplifier architecture.
Governance by Design for Apps, Processes, and AI Agents
- Identity & SSO: OAuth, SAML, LDAP, Active Directory, SAP SSO2
- Role-Based Access Control with Lifecycle Adaptation
- Transport System for Controlled App Delivery
What does "Governance by Design" mean?
Control as an architectural principle, not as an afterthought
Governance is firmly embedded in Simplifier’s core architecture —it ensures consistent, standardized development, deployment, and maintenance of apps, workflows, and AI agents. This reduces errors through automated code generation, improves time-to-market, and makes resource and budget management more predictable.
This governance model is built on six pillars: Reusability, Projects, Identity & SSO, Role-Based Access, Monitoring, and Documentation.
Six Pillars of Governance
Governance Reduces Compliance Risk and Associated Costs
Role-based access control makes it easier to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. By incorporating governance from the very beginning, you can avoid costly rework, audit findings, and uncontrolled licensing costs resulting from shadow IT and shadow AI.
Access & Traceability
One identity, all applications
Centralized Identity Management
A configured identity provider applies to all applications—no need to maintain user accounts in multiple places.
Role-Based Access Control
Administrators define roles with specific permissions; business roles automatically adapt to technical dependencies.
Transport System
Apps and configurations move in a controlled manner via packages and transports from the development environment to the production environment—similar to the SAP transport concept.
Frequently asked questions
Simplifier reduces shadow IT and shadow AI through centralized identity management, role- and permission-based models, controlled data transfers, and monitoring. IT teams can keep track of which apps, workflows, and AI-powered processes are being used productively—rather than discovering them only after the fact.
Simplifier supports common enterprise identity protocols such as OAuth, SAML, LDAP, OpenID Connect, Active Directory, and SAP Single Sign-On. User attributes, groups, and roles can be integrated to enable centralized user management and consistent access rights.
Simplifier supports GDPR-compliant operating models—such as on-premises, hybrid, or EU cloud. Companies can manage sensitive data in controlled infrastructures and implement their specific requirements for data protection, data residency, and governance.
> Deployment: On-premises, hybrid, EU cloud.
The app lifecycle is managed through a transport system. Applications, configurations, and dependent artifacts are bundled into transport packages and transferred in a controlled manner between development, testing, and production—with traceable versioning and clear release workflows.
Permissions are controlled through roles and technical dependencies. If apps, features, or dependencies change, access can be adjusted and verified centrally. This ensures that permissions remain traceable and reduces orphaned access.
Simplifier provides monitoring and logging capabilities for apps, workflows, connectors, and system calls. This enables IT teams to analyze errors, track usage, and monitor security-related events with greater transparency in production environments.
Simplifier enables the export of application code, thereby promoting technical transparency. Companies can review, version, and audit code outside the platform. This reduces reliance on proprietary formats and strengthens long-term governance.
Enterprise AI requires more than just quick results. Controlled execution, roles, permissions, monitoring, auditability, and clear responsibilities are crucial. Simplifier combines AI-powered creation with a governance and runtime model for productive enterprise processes.
