Challenge
We faced significant delays and inefficiencies during employee onboarding and offboarding. When new hires joined, setting up their access to our SaaS applications was a long, manual process that took days. This delay not only impacted their ability to start working right away but also slowed down overall productivity.
As our SaaS stack grew, this process became even more time-consuming for our IT and HR teams. They had to log into several different systems and manually set up each employee’s access, which took away time from more important tasks and projects.
Offboarding employees was equally difficult. When someone left, our teams had to manually remove access from all app systems. If this wasn’t done quickly enough, there was a risk that permissions would remain active, which could lead to security issues.
The lack of automation meant our HR and IT teams were stuck doing repetitive tasks. This caused not only inefficiencies but also errors and inconsistencies in access management. The manual process created security risks and slowed down our overall operations.
