See if SAM (Security Administration Manager) still exists (possibly rebranded). 
The company no longer exists but I found 
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/266741.266758 which described the product.

You haven't defined the customer's expectation of "Automate RACF". To say 
"couple hundred thousand $" is meaningless because at this point you don't know 
the customers problem.. Maybe the customer simply needs standards that simplify 
and consolidate the process. Products like AutoOperator may simplify 
distribution of security definitions to a few simple execs.

What is the problem that the customer trying to solve? Maybe the customer will 
find an 80% solution written in 2 weeks is acceptable.
