Automation Features in Money Forward Admina Enhance Account Management Efficiency

Enhancing Account Management with Automation in Money Forward Admina

Money Forward Inc. has recently introduced the automation feature for its platform, Money Forward Admina. This innovative functionality significantly streamlines account management by automatically handling the issuance and deletion of SaaS accounts based on employee onboarding and offboarding dates.

What is the Automation Feature?

The automation feature allows companies to seamlessly manage SaaS accounts by leveraging employee employment dates as triggers. When an employee joins or leaves a company, the necessary SaaS accounts can be automatically created or deleted without any manual intervention. This is made possible through the integration with the Admina Directory, which is designed specifically for HR departments to manage employee databases effectively.

By setting triggers such as start and end dates, any changes in HR databases can lead to automatic updates in SaaS account statuses. Furthermore, automatic processing can be tailored to address various conditions, whether it involves issuing accounts uniformly across all employees or targeting specific departments.

Future Functionality

Looking ahead, the company plans to incorporate this automation feature into existing workflow systems for more robust account issuance and deletion processes that will include approval mechanisms. Upcoming features also aim to automate SaaS assignments through IdP (Identity Provider) and to facilitate profile provisioning as part of further expansion.

Addressing Key Challenges

The introduction of this automation feature directly responds to the growing challenges faced by IT departments in managing SaaS account lifecycles. With the rising number of SaaS applications being adopted by companies, the burden of management tasks, especially during peak periods like month-end or month-start, has become overwhelming. Users have communicated the need for clearer visibility of account utilization alongside a desire for comprehensive automation across management tasks. Money Forward Admina aims to resolve these challenges by ensuring automated account handling alongside employee transitions.

The foundation of the automation feature lies in the capabilities that Money Forward Admina has fortified over time, such as the management of accounts and devices and the development of the Admina Directory for HR departments. The successful accumulation of vital employee data around onboarding and offboarding, along with IT asset information, made this innovative feature feasible.

Voice from the Company

Matsutoshi Murakami, the Chief Product Officer (CPO) of Money Forward Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the official release of the automation feature. He noted that account and device management, along with help desk operations, require a significant portion of IT departments' time. He believes this automation will mark a decisive step towards addressing these issues, enhancing both efficiency and support for organizations navigating resource constraints.

“We envision not just streamlining processes but also transforming these departments into strategic partners that bolster company growth,” Murakami said, emphasizing their commitment to ongoing innovation in IT operations.

Upcoming Webinar on Automation Feature

To provide firsthand insights into the new automation feature, an online webinar is scheduled. During the session, CPO Matsutoshi Murakami will discuss the development background and design concepts, sharing live demonstrations of the new capabilities. Complex processes such as account creation and permission assignments at the time of employee onboarding and offboarding will be addressed with practical use cases.
