Architecture & Integrations

Designed to integrate, not replace.

Activate is an identity automation platform that works across your existing identity, HR, ITSM and business systems. It orchestrates the identity processes between them, without replacing the platforms you already rely on.

Automate approvals, provisioning, lifecycle changes and fulfilment across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.

Where Activate Fits

Activate sits between the people and processes that trigger identity work and the systems where that work needs to happen.

It applies workflow, approvals and policy, then coordinates the required actions across identity, HR, ITSM and business systems. Your existing platforms stay in place.

Identity operations, end to end.

Identity work rarely ends with an approval. Activate carries the process through to completion, applying policy, coordinating approvals, provisioning access, updating connected systems and recording the outcome.

One coordinated workflow connects the people, policies and systems involved, reducing manual handoffs while keeping every action visible and auditable.

Built around your architecture

Hybrid by design

Connect cloud and on-premises systems without moving every identity process into one platform.

Designed for least privilege

Connections can use dedicated, scoped identities with only the permissions required for their function.

Separate governance from execution

Governance platforms can determine who should have access. Activate executes the approved operational changes.

External self-service. Built for traceability

Requests, approvals, system actions and outcomes can be recorded through the workflow and job history.

Built for internal and external access.

Activate can coordinate identity processes for employees, contractors, vendors, partners and other third parties — across internal and external environments.

External users can request access, complete approvals and recover accounts through a secure web experience without relying on VPN access.

SSO, MFA and policy controls help keep the experience governed without adding more service desk work.
