How SMBs can save time and boost productivity with automated app management

How SMBs can save time and boost productivity with automated app management

Read Time: 2 minutes Updated at: January 9, 2025

Application management places significant demands on small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Setting up accounts for new hires, securely updating user permissions, and revoking access for departing employees can all consume hours of valuable time.

For busy teams, automation is key to efficiently and securely manage growing tech stacks.

The Challenges SMBs Face with Application Management

The average SMB relies on over 20 different applications, each of which has unique management challenges:

  • Admin burden: manually granting and removing app access when an employee joins, leaves, or changes roles within your organization is time consuming and prone to error.
  • Employee experience: inconsistent app provisioning during the onboarding process drains productivity and negatively impacts the employee experience.
  • Security: manual app management leaves SMBs open to security risks, particularly if access isn’t revoked when an employee leaves the organization.
  • Access control: many SMBs lack visibility and control over app permissions, resulting in lost productivity and increased risk of data exposure.

How Electric’s Application Management Solves These Challenges

Electric’s application management integrates with your existing tech stack to streamline key processes:

  • Simplified provisioning: automate user access management based on an employee’s role and team – one click and the relevant app access is enabled.
  • Tech stack integration: Electric integrates with leading SaaS applications to grant, revoke, and track access permissions from a centralized dashboard.
    • Standardized onboarding: deliver a consistent onboarding process and ensure new hires have the app access they need to perform from day one.
    • Secure offboarding: eliminate the risk of data exposure by automatically revoking app access when an employee leaves your organization.
  • Single Sign On (SSO): boost security and productivity with Single Sign On (SSO) capabilities, allowing employees to access all of their apps with a single set of credentials.

The ROI of an Automated Application Management Solution

Application management doesn’t have to be an administrative burden. Electric’s automated solution for SMBs saves time, enhances security, and improves the employee experience.
