Reducing Identity Management Costs: How Hire2Retire’s JML Automation Delivers ROI

Pricing

How much money is your company spending to manage its digital identities? If you don’t have an exact answer, you’re probably paying more identity management costs than you’d expect.

Why do Identity and Access Management (IAM) costs seem to add up so fast? Manual processes are often at the heart of it, eating up IT work hours, increasing security risk, and slowing down employee productivity.

In this blog, we’ll break down JML automation, which manages joiners, movers, and leavers, and explain how it is one of the most effective ways to measurably reduce these costs.

Then, we’ll show you how Hire2Retire makes this automation easy and accessible, driving measurable ROI for organizations worldwide!

What Are Identity Management Costs and Why Do They Matter?

Direct identity management costs come from several places:

Software licenses

HR and IT resources

Time spent updating and managing system access

What you may not be aware of is the way that manual processes create hidden identity management costs.

Errors in provisioning lead to onboarding delays and lost productivity. Offboarding mistakes leave former employees with access to systems, raising security and compliance risks. Poor access control risks audits and fines that only raise costs further.

The business impact is real. High costs slow growth. Security failures damage trust. Employees lose time waiting for access and IT staff lose time fixing preventable errors.

How Does JML Automation Reduces Identity Management Costs?

What is JML Automation?

It is the automated handling of employee lifecycle events. When someone joins, changes roles, or leaves the company, their access rights update automatically across systems.

JML automation lowers workforce management costs in several ways:

Onboarding: New hires receive system access on day one, which avoids delays

Offboarding: Departing employees lose access immediately, reducing the chance of insider threats

Role changes: Movers shift to new responsibilities without lingering access to old roles

The efficiency gains are direct. Automated provisioning reduces helpdesk tickets. HR and IT staff spend less time on repetitive tasks. Compliance audits run smoother because access changes are being recorded and tracked.

Manual vs Automated Identity Lifecycle Management: A Cost Comparison

Consider a company with 5,000 employees. Each JML lifecycle event that needs to be handled manually takes time. It may not seem like much in the moment, but the result is thousands of hours per year spent on low-value work.

It all adds up quick: A company with 5,000 employees could spend upwards of $576,000 per year on IAM.

With automation, these events are handled instantly. User accounts are created and updated with role or attribute-based access privileges in minutes.

Employees have a smoother experience, and those thousands of hours spent per year are suddenly free for IT to spend focusing on high-priority tickets.

In total, automation with products like Hire2Retire can avoid up to 60% of identity management costs. That’s over $345,000 a year for our company with 5,000 employees!

How to Calculate Your Identity Management Costs

The amount your organization is spending on identity management depends on a few factors. The more direct factors include:

How many employees are managed in your company’s HR system

How many JML lifecycle events that trigger profile updates happen monthly or yearly

How many IT work hours are spent on provisioning and deprovisioning access

Identifying the more hidden costs of identity management can be trickier. Try to quantify the value of:

Strengthened data security from prompt offboarding

Avoiding fines with continuous compliance and audit tracking

Increasing time-to-productivity with faster offboarding
