Manual provisioning creates delays, errors, and security risks. Automated workflows speed up onboarding, eliminate mistakes, and close access gaps—improving both IT efficiency and business productivity.

Manual account provisioning has long been a pain point for IT teams. New hires wait days before gaining access, role changes lead to inconsistent entitlements, and deprovisioning is often delayed—leaving security gaps wide open.
The Case for Automation:
- Faster Onboarding: Automated provisioning ensures new employees are productive from day one.
- Error-Free Execution: Automation eliminates typos, misconfigured roles, and forgotten deactivations.
- Scalability: As organizations grow, automated workflows handle thousands of identity events seamlessly.
Business Value:
- For IT Teams: Less time spent on repetitive account management tasks, more time for strategic projects.
- For Security: Eliminates “access creep” and ensures immediate removal of accounts for leavers.
- For Business: Improved productivity and employee satisfaction through instant access to tools.
- Example: A financial services firm using automated provisioning reduced onboarding time from 5 days to under 30 minutes—while also closing security gaps caused by delayed deprovisioning.
Bottom Line:
Automation isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about reducing risks and enabling digital transformation without compromising security.
