CUSTOMER STORY · NONPROFIT · WORKFORCE ONBOARDING
A statewide nonprofit legal organization was spending too much time provisioning accounts by hand. BeCloud implemented an AWS-based onboarding workflow that brings requests, role assignments, notifications, and tracking into a repeatable process.
The challenge: the same manual steps for every new person
New employees and volunteers required accounts, permissions, internal updates, and notifications across several administrative touchpoints. Repeated data entry and manual follow-up could delay access and make onboarding status difficult to establish.
The organization needed a process that non-technical staff could initiate without removing administrative control over access decisions.
A structured request, followed by defined automation
Authorized staff enter new-hire details through a web interface. Lambda functions execute the onboarding logic, including account creation, role-based permission assignment, internal updates, and notifications.
The implementation uses S3 for the web interface, DynamoDB for supporting workflow data, and SES for email. IAM permissions, encryption, and monitoring support the cloud environment.
Consistency with an accountable owner
Standard provisioning logic reduces repetitive administration and makes role assignments easier to review. Logging and notifications give administrators a clearer record of progress and exceptions.
The engagement reports moving onboarding execution from hours of manual work to minutes of automated processing. This is a reported experience, not a universal service-time commitment. Approval time, downstream system behavior, and exceptions still need to be measured.
Automation should carry out approved access decisions. It does not replace the organization’s responsibility to define roles, approve access, and review accounts as responsibilities change.
Maintaining and extending the workflow
BeCloud continues to monitor the environment, tune workflows, review permissions, and assess costs. Offboarding, reporting, or additional integrations are possible extensions; they should not be described as delivered features until implemented and tested.
