How to Automate Identity Management in Infor HCM and Google Workspace

Use Cases

HR departments worldwide are struggling with staffing issues and burnout more than ever before. Most organizations are struggling to hire new employees across the board, which is forcing HR leaders to find creative ways to help their overburdened departments. Many leaders are turning to automation as a solution, starting with integrating HR systems and Identity Providers (IdP) like Infor HCM and Google Workspace.

In this blog, you’ll learn why there’s never been a better time to embrace HR and employee onboarding automation and how identity lifecycle automation platforms like Hire2Retire integrate Infor HCM and Google Workspace to reduce the burden on your HR department.

Why You Should Automate Identity Management from Infor HCM to Google Workspace

SHRM’s 2025 State of The Workplace Report identified staffing challenges as one of the primary factors limiting HR department effectiveness in 2024. 62% of HR professionals reported that their departments have been operating beyond typical capacity, a 5% increase from 2023.

To address these challenges, SHRM recommends optimizing existing processes by investing in HR automation technology:

Many of these HR technologies are part of cloud HR solutions. For example, Infor HCM Workforce Management (WFM) contains time and attendance tracking systems, and Infor CloudSuite HCM offers benefits management and performance review platforms.

One of the most common and repetitive HR processes involves syncing employee data from these HR systems to identity platforms like Google Workspace. This makes up a large chunk of the administrative tasks that HR staff spend up to 57% of their time on, according to Deloitte.

This is a critical opportunity for companies to reduce their HR department’s workload by adding HR software integration between Infor HCM and Google Workspace.

How to Automate Identity Management from Infor HCM to Google Workspace with Hire2Retire

It can be difficult to choose the right automation product to manage identities in Google Workspace through Infor HCM integration. Many solutions require intensive, code-heavy development that fails to effectively work at scale. However, Hire2Retire is a no-code identity governance product that automates identity management for the complete employee lifecycle, from the first day at work to the last day and everything in between.

Here is a step-by-step guide to automating Identity Access Management (IAM) through Hire2Retire’s Infor HCM to Google Workspace integration.

1: Connect Infor HCM and Google Workspace to Hire2Retire

Use the Infor HCM Reporting tool to set up SFTP exports that send extract files with the employee HR attributes you want to synchronize to Hire2Retire’s SFTP server.

Then, link your Google Workspace account to Hire2Retire using OAuth authorization, and grant Hire2Retire access to make changes to your Google Workspace account.

2: Map Infor HCM Attributes to Google Workspace Attributes

After linking your Infor HCM and Google Workspace, define the HR attributes in your Infor HCM file extracts and map them to their relevant Google Workspace attributes using Hire2Retire’s no-code, drag-and-drop workflow.

3: Define Lifecycle Business Automation Rules

This is the most important step of setting up Hire2Retire, where you define the automation workflows that are run when employee lifecycle events occur, such as onboarding, terminations, change of role, and long-term leave.

4: Set Up Role-Based Group Membership Assignment Rulesets

Hire2Retire makes it easy to implement system access on a need-to-know basis. Use logic-based tables and employee attributes to create custom rulesets that assign group memberships for security groups and mail-enabled distribution lists.
