Why New Starters Wait and Leavers Linger
A new engineer spends their first three days waiting for a laptop login and email access. Meanwhile, someone who left last month can still sign in to the CRM from home. Employee onboarding and offboarding both depend on the same thing: access that follows HR changes automatically.

A former employee logs in An alert shows someone who left weeks ago signing in to a business system. Nobody is quite sure how.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after the review?
We walk you through what we found on a call. You can act on it with your own team, or ask us to help with the bigger changes. Either way, it’s your decision and there’s no obligation.
What’s the difference between onboarding and provisioning?
Onboarding is the whole process of a new person joining. Provisioning is the part where accounts and access are created. Automating provisioning is what makes employee onboarding and offboarding fast and reliable.
Our HR system is old. Can it still feed identity?
Often, yes. Even if it doesn’t connect directly, a regular export can be enough to drive automation. We look at what your HR system can provide and work from there.
How do we handle contractors and temporary staff?
Give them a clear record with an end date, either in HR or a separate register. Their access then expires automatically on that date, rather than relying on someone remembering to remove it.
What about access that isn’t standard for a role?
Those still go through a request and approval, ideally in a simple catalog. Automating standard access means far fewer requests overall, so the exceptions get handled faster and with less back and forth.
Does this include laptops and other equipment?
The focus here is access to accounts and applications. Device setup can be linked to the same trigger, so a laptop is ready alongside the accounts, and we’ll look at that connection.
