Challenge
We faced significant delays and inefficiencies during employee onboarding and offboarding. Manually provisioning SaaS access for new hires was time-consuming, often taking several days to complete. This hassle in access setup hampered productivity and created a frustrating experience for new employees starting their roles.
The manual process required IT and HR teams to visit each application and configure access permissions which became laborious as our SaaS stack expanded.
The offboarding process was equally challenging, requiring manual effort to revoke access for departing employees. It increased the risk of lingering permissions and potential security concerns.
Our existing system needed automation, and this manual approach consumed valuable HR resources and resulted in inconsistencies and errors, impacting overall operational efficiency.
