In many companies, requesting access to IT systems and applications is still a very painful, expensive and inefficient process. While AI-led innovation and disruption is getting all the attention these days, improving legacy tools and processes in enterprises is still relevant and imperative.

Problem

🔥 In many organizations, there are multiple ways that employees can request access to different IT systems and applications.
🔥 In addition to multiple access request systems, some enterprises maintain dozens of mailboxes, which receive emails from employees requesting access to different IT systems and applications.
🔥 This creates confusion and frustration for employees and is time-consuming resulting in lost productivity.
🔥 The manual monitoring, approval, and fulfillment of access requests can be expensive for IT and Identity and Access Management teams, and
🔥 Non-compliance issues can arise if access requests are not properly approved before fulfillment and can be costly for enterprises.

Solution

While there isn’t just one right solution to this problem, below is one way it can be solved:

🎯 An effective way to solve this is by standardizing the access request intake processes using a centralized platform, which serves more like an ecosystem for various teams to play together and build the access request solutions that suit their team’s business need in a consistent manner.
🎯 This approach enables multiple Application and IT teams to work together and build a consistent set of access request processes that can scale up to meet the business needs quickly while being presented to the enterprise workforce in one place.
🎯 It eliminates the need for a centralized team to understand and build multiple request intake processes for different business units.
🎯 If the platform is a no-code solution, it can allow even application teams with no dedicated IT staff to build effective access request services for the enterprise.
