## Source excerpt

Dear Keycloak community, Thanks to the collaborative work with a lot of folks from the community and Red Hat's IT, we are delivering in Keycloak 25 the Keycloak Organizations feature. We are pleased to announce the beginning of a long journey to support Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) and, to some degree, also support for multi-tenancy when a realm needs to integrate with third parties such as customers and business partners. Keycloak Organizations is a feature that leverages the existing Identity and Access Management (IAM) capabilities of Keycloak to address CIAM uses cases like Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Business-to-Customer (B2B2C) integrations.
