TL;DR: Giving users access to the tools they need is a challenge, and it’s getting tougher by the day. Automating that process could be the key to your success. Here’s why IT teams need automated provisioning, and how your own team can do it. IT departments today face two main challenges: The first is that people are changing jobs more often—at a rate of every 4.2 years in 2018. That’s down from 4.6 years in 2014, and it doesn’t even account for people switching roles within companies. IT departments must keep up as they onboard new users, change permissions, and offboard old employees more frequently. Another key problem IT teams face is that the employees who do stay with their companies are demanding more apps to support flexible working methods. According to a recent survey, nearly 90% of managers and business owners want cloud apps to support remote working.
