The COVID-19 pandemic brought on a new era for education, leaving the classic caricatures of chalk boards and heavy textbooks to the world of movies. Forced to restart from the ground up, schools are constantly searching for efficient, cost-effective management solutions, and now technology integration is a bigger part of education than at any other point in history. Bromcom Computers has been at the forefront of this technological revolution in the United Kingdom for over 35 years as the market leader in school Management Information Systems (MIS). Bromcom was the first company in the UK to launch a cloud-based MIS in 2011, and currently serves over 1.5 million users with the goal of saving schools money to invest in their students and the future of the community.
Despite being the definitive name in school management systems, Bromcom still struggled when it came to efficiently managing their employee profiles and access privileges. Sysadmins often fell behind on the manual employee onboarding and offboarding tasks, preventing the new hires from hitting the ground running and at times leaving Bromcom potentially exposed to cyber security risks if a terminated employee walked away with privileged access and chose to go rouge. The company needed to speed up its onboarding processes, secure and protect its data, and reduce the burden on its sysadmins to manually update and maintain every employee profile between BambooHR and Azure AD. Bromcom knew it takes one to know one and sought out a company with an offering in the employee lifecycle management space.
RoboMQ implemented Hire2Retire as a fully automated employee lifecycle management and identity provisioning solution, providing Bromcom with fully automated, end-to-end, no-code data integration between BambooHR and Azure AD. Hire2Retire eliminated the manual burden placed on sysadmins to update and maintain the company’s employee profiles by automatically onboarding new hires and providing a superior “First day of work” experience. In addition, Hire2Retire’s role-based access control ensured employees were consistently placed in the right security groups and distribution lists and removed access of terminated employees in near real time, preventing possible data breaches and reducing cybersecurity risks. These benefits saved sysadmin time and resources, allowing Bromcom to focus on doing what they do best: helping schools across the UK to uplift the next wave of brilliant minds.
