A large apparel manufacturing company, with over 5,000 employees, experienced significant operational inefficiencies. Their manual, email-based approval process for internal system access to critical software like SAP, HRMS, and PLM led to delays, a lack of transparency, and compliance risks, particularly during employee onboarding or role transitions.
To resolve these challenges, we implemented an automated access control and approval workflow system. This solution seamlessly integrated with their existing IT infrastructure, allowing employees to submit access requests through a centralized portal. Requests were then automatically routed to relevant department heads, IT security, and compliance officers based on predefined rules.
The system ensured each approval stage was time-bound and meticulously tracked. Role-based permissions were configured to enforce the principle of least privilege, granting only the minimum required access. Additionally, the system provided comprehensive audit trails, real-time notifications, and detailed reports for compliance reviews.
The automation dramatically reduced approval turnaround time and significantly improved visibility for all stakeholders. This led to faster onboarding and smoother role changes. IT and compliance teams benefited from centralized control and a reduction in manual errors, ultimately enhancing both security and overall productivity. The solution established a robust foundation for scalable, policy-driven access governance throughout the organization.
