Case Study: BekaertDeslee speeds up employee onboarding with Microsoft Azure

BekaertDeslee speeds employee onboarding by bringing together SAP SuccessFactors and Azure Active Directory

BekaertDeslee, the global mattress fabric manufacturer, was struggling with a slow, manual employee onboarding process that required HR and IT to exchange Excel files and tickets to grant system access. Using Microsoft Azure Active Directory alongside SAP SuccessFactors, the company wanted a more secure, streamlined identity and access approach that would work in its hybrid cloud environment.

Microsoft Azure implemented Azure Active Directory integration with SAP SuccessFactors to automate user provisioning and synchronize employee data across systems. The result was a major efficiency gain: onboarding time dropped from five days to less than 12 hours, improving accuracy, reducing manual errors, and freeing HR and IT to focus on higher-value work.
