class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In many organizations, onboarding starts in two different places:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>HR department<\/strong>: creates new employees in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstware.com\/en\/systems\/connect-hr-systems\/\">HR system<\/a> and maintains master data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>IT department<\/strong>: simultaneously creates user accounts in the IAM system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This leads to duplicate data entry, media disruptions, and manual exchange via email or paper.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consequences<\/strong>: Incorrect data, high time expenditure, lack of transparency.<\/p>\n<p>The key question: <strong>How can HR systems be efficiently connected with Identity and Access Management systems (IAM) to automate onboarding and permission management?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_old_process_slow_error-prone_person-dependent\"><\/span>The old process: slow, error-prone, person-dependent<span

Data was exchanged via email or printed documents between HR and IT.<\/p>\n<p>Result: Delays due to vacation cover, sick leave, or typos led to inconsistent data and long processing times. Adjustments often took several days, and IT was heavily burdened.<\/p>\n<p>This classic media break (HR system \u2192 email \u2192 IT \u2192 directory) brought risks and missed opportunities:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/firstware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Old-onboarding-process.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-49326  aligncenter\" title=\"Connect HR system and IAM with FirstWare IDM-Portal and automate processes\" src=\"https:\/\/firstware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Old-onboarding-process.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"742\" height=\"362\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_solution_automated_HR_system_integration_in_the_IAM_system_IDM-Portal\"><\/span>The solution: automated HR system integration in the IAM system IDM-Portal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The administration opted for <strong>HR system integration with the IAM system IDM-Portal<\/strong>.<br class=\"yoast-text-mark\" \/><br \/>\n&gt;&gt;<strong>The core idea:<\/strong> Daily exports of HR data, automated processing, and direct synchronization with the IAM system without manual intervention.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49324\" title=\"Connect HR system and IAM with IDM-Portal and automatically update data in AD and Entra ID\" src=\"https:\/\/firstware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/connect-hr-system.png\" alt=\"Connect HR system and IAM with IDM-Portal and automatically update data in AD and Entra ID\" width=\"644\" height=\"286\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical_process\"><\/span>Technical process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Nightly full export<\/strong> from the HR system<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automated processing in IDM-Portal<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Addition of extra columns for automation<\/li>\n<li>Delta comparison to detect changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Import of the finished CSV file<\/strong> into IDM-Portal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic update<\/strong> of IAM data<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The result: A seamless, error-reduced process that speeds up onboarding, ensures data quality, and relieves the IT department.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to make your onboarding processes just as efficient?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstware.com\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><button class=\"ButtonBeratung aligncenter\">Book an individual consultation<\/button><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_model_IT_HR_and_managers\"><\/span>Role model: IT, HR, and managers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The integration takes different responsibilities into account:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>IT department:<\/strong> Operational use of IDM-Portal, technical control, monitoring<\/li>\n<li><strong>HR:<\/strong> Maintenance of defined attributes (name, first name, department, extension attributes), sending information emails, notifications, and password letters if necessary<\/li>\n<li><strong>Managers:<\/strong> Limited changes, e.g., approval of certain updates<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This role model ensures that departments can complete their tasks independently while IT retains governance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IDM-Portal_More_than_just_synchronization\"><\/span>IDM-Portal: More than just synchronization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The benefits of IDM-Portal go far beyond simple data transfer.
