Identity Management was once simple. Every employee was sitting behind the same firewall in a fixed location. IT used to grant them access to a few on-premises applications, and the work is done. However, the modern enterprise situation is entirely different. With remote teams and the use of dozens of cloud apps in an organization, you never know which employee may ask for instant access to an app, sitting in which part of the country.
The legacy Identity Management setup was built for predictable and centralized workflows, and companies still using it are now struggling to keep up. Studies show that manual provisioning of an employee can now take up to 2 to 3 weeks, because of distributed teams, widespread adoption of cloud tools, and hybrid work models in businesses. This delay in access and resource provisioning can lead to frustrated employees and lost productivity. On the other hand, when the deprovisioning process is not quick and accurate, it can lead to insider security breaches and compliance risks.
It is time for Identity Management to evolve from a rigid and scattered process to automated, event- driven and HR-centric.
Traditional Identity Management systems were built for slow and static workplaces. Employees used to stay in a single role for years, using the same tools, and IT could control them from a single point.
Those systems are now falling behind in a dynamic work environment. When an employee is hired, IT has to create accounts at the request of HR or Managers. If they change departments or roles, they rely on another ticket-based provisioning to modify access. When an existing employee is terminated, it often takes days to deactivate employee accounts from all tools.
Because of these fragmented processes, often blind spots are created. Terminated employees still retain access to sensitive data, GAL has ghost accounts, and new hires waste their productive days still waiting for access. In the times when security is foundational to identity management, manual provisioning processes can no longer sustain.
An average modern company uses more than 100 SaaS applications, and even a single role transition can trigger hours of IT manual effort. When a new hire joins, they expect access to the necessary applications on their first day. In the event of employee termination, the access and accounts from all systems should be deactivated same day to avoid compliance issues.
Organizations hire, move, and offboard employees today faster than ever, and only automation can ensure JML automation. By considering HR as a source of truth and syncing changes in HR and IT in real time, enterprises can ensure consistent and streamlined Identity Management.
