What is Activate IAM?

Activate IAM is a platform that automates access, governance, and compliance across HR, IT, and Security. It manages onboarding, offboarding, and access changes automatically.

What bundles does Activate offer?

Activate offers four bundles: HR Automation, IT Operations, Security & Compliance, and Enterprise Automation. Each bundle can operate independently or as part of one connected platform.

How secure is Activate IAM?

Activate V8 is built with Zero Trust architecture, enforced SSL, and real-time communication between components, ensuring high security and governance standards.

About Us

In Auckland back in 2005, Activate started helping big organisations keep the lights on and the logins working.
We started in identity and access management, but what we really do is make businesses run smoother. Our automation connects HR, IT, and Security so every person has the right access, right away. No waiting, no ticket roulette.
‍
In 2024, we joined Software Combined, giving us the backing to scale across Australasia while staying true to our roots: practical automation that quietly saves thousands of hours and millions of dollars each year.

We like our business a little quiet.
Because quiet means everything's working, and that's exactly how it should be.

What we do

Activate automates the everyday admin that slows teams down.
We offer four bundles; HR, IT, and Security & Compliance and Enterprise. They're built to run on their own or together, removing manual tasks, tighten governance, and free people to focus on real work.

Our workflows are ready out-of-the-box, deployment is quick, and our team is hands-on from day one. No drawn-out projects. No mystery invoices. Just automation that does what it says on the tin.
