Improving Enterprise Collaboration with Integration & Automation

Businesses and organizations – especially those in higher education – have seen a number of changes because of cloud adoption. One of the biggest has been in the integration and automation of different platforms through systems like iPaaS that allow workflows to be triggered in different systems and executed automatically. Now, things like changing a name or onboarding an employee or student don’t take as much manual work. This has benefits across several areas of business. 

Onboarding and Offboarding

One of the most complex, time–consuming processes for any human resources and IT department is the onboarding and offboarding of employees. When you have iPaaS with IT Process Automation (ITPA), you can build out workflows that automate the processes – using data from multiple systems, communicated back and forth. 

When a new employee joins a company, there are usually several things that need to happen. For example, an employee record needs to be created in the Active Directory, HR system, the payroll system, permissions need to be set in a plethora of function-specific solutions, MS365 and the list goes on and on.  Offboarding is equally as daunting and can at times presents critical risks to data resulting in an immediate action path 

When you integrate with iPaaS, you can set up certain parameters and triggers within the system to automatically complete much of this onboarding and offboarding without reliance on specific administrative resources being available 24/7. By using iPaaS with ITPA to simplify the technology component of the onboarding and offboarding process, you free up resources to focus on training new hires or helping with team transitions, leading to higher satisfaction for everyone involved. 

Request for Name Change

We all know how frustrating it can be to change information, like name and address, or request new permissions to systems when the process lacks automation. Rather than filling up a support inbox with email requests, you can connect your systems and APIs through iPaaS and build workflows to automate the process – without the need to code anything. Once again, iPaaS with ITPA helps you free up your resources to focus on more complex matters, likely saving time and money.
