Are You Still Onboarding Apps Manually? Let’s Talk About That…

If you're still onboarding applications into your IAM system with spreadsheets, endless meetings, and manual configurations, we need to have a serious talk. Because that process isn't just slow, it's fundamentally broken, and it's costing you more than you think.

For system integrators and IT operations teams, the story is painfully familiar. A new app needs to be integrated, and you're immediately trapped in a cycle of trying to translate complex business needs into the rigid, unforgiving language of your IGA platform. It’s a tedious process that drains time, budget, and morale.

The High Cost of Manual Onboarding

Let's be blunt. This old way of working kills your efficiency and security.

  • Glacial Timelines: What should take minutes stretches into weeks or even months, leaving your business waiting and your IT team bogged down.
  • Human Error & Security Gaps: Every manual step is a chance to misconfigure a permission or create a security hole. In IAM, small mistakes lead to big breaches.
  • Business Agility Gridlock: In a market that demands speed, the inability to integrate new tools quickly means you’re not just falling behind, you’re holding the business back.

The Fix: Stop Translating, Start Reasoning

The solution isn't a better spreadsheet. It’s a complete paradigm shift powered by semantic enrichment: a core capability built into the IAMONES platform today. 

We use the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand intent and context, just like a human expert would.

Instead of manually mapping roles and entitlements, you simply describe what you need in plain English.

The Old Way (Weeks of Pain):

You spend weeks in workshops trying to explain that a "Sales Director" in the new CRM should see all contacts in their region, but only edit the accounts managed by their direct team. Then you cross your fingers and hope the implementation matches the intent.

The IAMONES Way (Minutes to Done):

You tell our platform: "Onboard the new CRM. Grant Sales Directors read-access to all regional contacts and edit-rights only for accounts managed by their direct reports."

Our conversational AI parses this, understands the logic, and translates it into the precise technical configuration for your existing IGA solution, whether it's SailPoint, One Identity, OpenText, Saviynt, or another platform. The weeks-long slog becomes a task completed in minutes.

Stop Living in the Past

For the system integrators and IT ops pros in the trenches, this means radical speed, fewer screw-ups, and the ability to supercharge the IGA tools you already own. There's no need to rip and replace.

Continuing with manual application onboarding today is like showing up to a meeting with a flip phone. It might technically work, but it sends a clear message: you’re not keeping up.

The technology to eliminate this bottleneck is here now. It's time to stop being a translator of business requests and start managing an intelligent, automated IAM ecosystem.
