Case Study: Motion cuts onboarding time from 2 hours to under 30 minutes with AccessOwl

Motion cuts onboarding to under 30 minutes with AccessOwl

Motion, an AI-based project-management tool, faced significant challenges with manually onboarding new employees. Co-founder Ethan Yu was spending several hours per hire to provision accounts for approximately 20 applications, a process that was time-consuming and prone to error. This manual system created compliance issues and inefficiencies as the company grew. To solve this, Motion turned to the vendor AccessOwl to automate user provisioning and access management.

By implementing AccessOwl, Motion automated its onboarding and off-boarding processes through a Slack integration. This allowed employees to request access to predefined applications easily, with all changes and approvals documented. The solution from AccessOwl reduced onboarding time from two hours to under 30 minutes per employee. Additionally, it provided a full audit trail and automated access reviews, ensuring SOC 2 compliance without the need for a dedicated IT team.
