Bringing new employees on board should be a smooth and exciting process, but when HR and IT systems don’t communicate, it can quickly turn into a frustrating experience. Missing email accounts and delayed access to essential tools can leave new hires waiting and create unnecessary stress for your team.
Connecting BambooHR to AzureAD solves this problem, making onboarding faster, easier, and more efficient.
The Problem – Why Disconnected Systems Hold You Back
Starting a new job should be exciting, but the process can get messy when HR and IT systems don’t work together. Imagine hiring someone whose email isn’t set up and who hasn’t had access to the tools they need for days or weeks. That’s frustrating for everyone.
If you’re using BambooHR for HR tasks and Microsoft 365, you already know the struggle of getting accounts created in AzureAD (also called EntraID). Without an integration, you’re stuck doing things manually:
- IT delays: Accounts and permissions aren’t ready on time.
- Extra work: HR and IT duplicate efforts, wasting hours.
- Security risks: Old accounts stay active, leaving your systems open to problems.
- License costs: Running this report saves the average business with over 100 employees at least $2,000 annually.
The Solution – Connect BambooHR to AzureAD
By integrating BambooHR and AzureAD, you can avoid these headaches. Instead of manually updating data in two places, the systems can talk to each other. This automation simplifies how new employees are onboarded and how departing employees are offboarded.
How It Works
- HR Inputs Data: HR enters employee details into BambooHR, such as their name, role, and start date.
- Automatic Sync: AutoIDM syncs this information to AzureAD.
- Account Setup: AutoIDM automatically creates user accounts, assigns permissions, and sets up access to tools like email and Microsoft 365.
- Smooth Offboarding: When employees leave, the system deactivates their accounts, reducing security risks.
Why This Integration is Worth It
- Save Time: Your IT team won’t have to manually create accounts, allowing them to focus on more significant projects.
- Fewer Mistakes: Automated data sync means fewer errors in permissions and account setups.
- Better Security: Accounts get disabled when employees leave, closing potential security gaps.
- Happy Employees: New hires can use tools on day one without waiting for setup.
- Customization: Typically, we sync around 15 fields, some of which involve complex logic explicitly tailored to your business.
A Realistic Scenario
Picture a mid-sized company that has trouble onboarding new employees. IT spends hours creating accounts by hand, and HR must constantly follow up to ensure everything gets noticed. New employees wait days before they can log into their email accounts.
With a BambooHR and AzureAD integration, they might see:
- Big drop in onboarding delays, so new employees are ready to work from day one.
- Noticeable reduction in errors, like wrong permissions or missed accounts.
- Happier employees are set up for success right away.
