About the Company

HDI Global SE is an international commercial insurance company and part of the Talanx Group, one of the largest insurance groups in Europe. The company provides insurance and risk management services for corporate and industrial customers across industries including manufacturing, transportation, energy, engineering, construction, and financial services.

Headquartered in Germany, HDI Global SE operates across more than 175 countries through its global branch offices, subsidiaries, network partners, and service providers. The company supports organizations with property insurance, liability insurance, cyber insurance, marine coverage, engineering risk protection, and specialty insurance solutions.

With over five thousand employees working across multiple regions and business units, HDI Global SE manages a large enterprise IT environment. It requires reliable onboarding processes, secure cloud identity management, and employee onboarding and identity management operations.

Challenges

HDI Global SE was managing onboarding manually because Paycor was not connected with Azure AD. This created delays, repetitive admin work, and increased dependency on IT teams during employee onboarding.

Some of the major challenges included:

The company also wanted a setup that could later support additional provisioning automation and future onboarding and provisioning workflows across other applications.

Solution

HDI Global SE selected Hire2Retire to automate onboarding workflows between Paycor and Azure AD using API-based integration. The implementation focused on simplifying provisioning work, reducing manual admin tasks, and improving employee identity synchronization across systems.

Key parts of the solution included:

The initial rollout focused on onboarding US employees first, with plans to later expand workflows for employees in Germany and Mexico. HDI Global SE also discussed future onboarding automation for interns and additional identity lifecycle workflows.

The project team wanted a fast implementation approach, and the workflow design was intentionally kept simple to support quicker deployment and reduce IT overhead. The company also showed interest in future entitlement management improvements through Microsoft Entra and automation across other business applications.

Business Outcome

By automating onboarding workflows between Paycor and Azure AD, HDI Global SE reduced the amount of manual provisioning work required from IT teams and improved onboarding consistency across employee lifecycle operations.

Key business outcomes included:

The automated setup also helped HDI Global SE reduce manual account creation work while supporting ongoing IT modernization initiatives across the organization.

Takeaway

HDI Global SE needed a simple and scalable way to automate onboarding while IT teams were already managing large infrastructure projects including Azure migration and Intune rollout.

Using Hire2Retire, the company automated Paycor to Azure AD onboarding workflows, reduced manual provisioning work, and improved onboarding operations without adding unnecessary complexity to the environment.

The implementation also gave HDI Global SE flexibility to support future onboarding automation for additional regions, interns, entitlement management workflows, and provisioning across other business applications.
