Challenge
We faced delays and inefficiencies when onboarding and offboarding employees. Setting up SaaS access for new hires took days, slowing productivity and creating a poor first experience. As our SaaS stack grew, IT and HR teams had to manually configure access for each app, which made the process slow and error-prone.
Offboarding was just as challenging, with lingering access creating security risks. We needed a way to automate access management, improve consistency, and free up HR and IT teams to focus on more strategic priorities.
Solution
- CloudEagle.ai automated access provisioning for new hires and revocation for departing employees, speeding up onboarding and reducing security risks.
- Role-based access policies allowed Bloom & Wild to assign the correct permissions, saving HR and IT time.
- CloudEagle.ai ensured compliance by providing clear control over access permissions and sending alerts for anomalous user behavior.
- The platform seamlessly integrates with HR systems and SSO, centralizing access management and ensuring consistent policies.
