BRZ Keycloak case study published

August 05 2025 by Alexander Schwartz

BRZ migrated the Austrian Business Service Portal with 2M+ users to Keycloak.

The Austrian Business Service Portal (USP) is the central online eGovernment platform for entrepreneurs and businesses. It connects businesses with various Austrian online government services, where businesses can access all digital services and information in one place.

The USP was launched in 2010 by the Austrian Federal Computing Center (BRZ, abbreviated from the German name Bundesrechenzentrum). The BRZ is the market-leading eGovernment partner of the Austrian federal administration and is both developing and operating the portal.

Authenticating and authorizing 2+ million users for 130+ public services is the most important key feature of the USP which now uses Keycloak, microservices and GitOps under the hood.
