Why Automating Resource Provisioning with Hire2Retire is Crucial in 2025

Resource provisioning shouldn’t be a bottleneck for your IT department. Instead, it should be the invisible engine driving your identity governance process.
However, too many IT teams are still wasting time on outdated, manual access provisioning workflows. It’s time to rethink the process, because automating resource provisioning is an essential practice in 2025.
The good news is that thanks to Identity Governance & Administration (IGA) products like Hire2Retire, it’s easier than ever to improve operational efficiency and enhance data security by automating resource provisioning and access control.

Why Automating Workforce Identity Management Is a Crucial Process in 2025

Resource provisioning is the process of assigning, updating, and revoking user access to IT systems based on an employee’s role, employment status, and other Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
Manual provisioning is a persistent burden for IT teams that is only compounded in the hybrid and remote environments that are commonplace in today’s world, leading to:

A Slow, Error-Prone Onboarding Process

Manual resource provisioning needs IT Service Management (ITSM) tickets, scripts, and admin oversight for every new hire a company makes. This sucks up IT resources, introduces access inconsistencies, and causes errors that delay the onboarding process.
7 Out of 10 Employees Believe the Onboarding Process Makes or Breaks a New Hire's Overall Experience. Automating Resource Provisioning with Hire2Retire Ensures a Smooth, Consistent Onboarding Process.
A survey by Paychex found that 70% of employees believe onboarding makes or breaks a new hire’s overall experience. If a new hire doesn’t have the right access when they start work, their first impression has been made.

Data Breaches from Delayed Deprovisioning

According to IBM’s 2025 X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, valid credentials were the most common entry point for cyberattacks in 2024, accounting for 30% of all events.
The leading cause of these breaches stems from a manual deprovisioning process. Employees leave a company, IT is slow to revoke their access privileges, and serious security vulnerabilities are created.
As IBM says, “Hackers don’t break in, they log in.”

Audit Fatigue and Compliance Risks

Without an automated identity governance and resource provisioning process, IT teams are left scrambling to validate access controls during compliance cycles and audit preparation.
This is especially true for organizations that must comply with strict data privacy regulations like HIPAA.
Ultimately, if you are still relying on a manual resource provisioning process, you’re reducing operational efficiency, creating security vulnerabilities, and risking compliance failure.
The solution? Automate your resource provisioning using Hire2Retire.

3 Key Benefits of Automating Resource Provisioning with Hire2Retire

By contrast, automating the resource provisioning process with an IGA product creates a consistent, reliable, and continually compliant process across an organization’s core HR and IT systems.
Hire2Retire achieves this by reflecting lifecycle events from an organization’s HCM to its Identity Provider (IdP) with rule-based workflows, automatically provisioning and deprovisioning user access in near real-time.
3 Key Benefits of Automating Resource Provisioning with Hire2Retire
By automating resource provisioning with Hire2Retire, companies can:

1: Reduce Onboarding Times to Improve Retention and Productivity

Hire2Retire lets organizations significantly reduce overall onboarding times by automatically provisioning new hires with system access in minutes instead of hours, days, or weeks.
Research from SHRM shows the clear difference that quick, standardized, and structured onboarding makes: New hires are 50% more productive and 58% more likely to stay for at least three years.

2: Eliminate Security Vulnerabilities with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

According to IBM, either credentials or data were stolen in 46% of all cyberattacks in 2024, making it imperative for companies to enforce strict RBAC. Automating user access provisioning ensures employees are only given system access to the essential resources for their job.
Similarly, Hire2Retire automatically deprovisions user access in near-real time for offboarding events, eliminating manual delays and the security risks associated with them.

3: Enable Continuous Regulatory Compliance

Hire2Retire includes a built-in compliance and audit trail that logs group membership and resource provisioning assignments for every employee lifecycle event.
These detailed event logs can be exported to AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, and MySQL Databases, ensuring continuous compliance and turning audit prep from stressful scrambles to stress-free events.
