What Our Employee Onboarding & Offboarding Services Involve
Simplify Account Management With Integrated Provisioning
Managing user accounts manually can lead to mistakes and security risks. Incorrect permissions during onboarding or delays disabling accounts when employees leave expose your company to unauthorized access. These errors compromise your data security.
Network 1 Consulting can automate account provisioning and deprovisioning, fully integrating with Microsoft Azure. Our streamlined process quickly creates accounts with accurate permissions and immediately disables access when needed.
Gain greater control over your account lifecycle and protect your company’s data.
Strengthen Security With Precise Access Management
Many companies unintentionally allow broad access to sensitive files. On average, 17% of critical documents are accessible by every employee. Such widespread access can lead to unauthorized sharing or data misuse.
Network 1 Consulting can help by managing access rights for you. We will clearly define who can reach folders, apps, VPNs, and internal systems. Our team assigns permissions based strictly on job roles.
We will also regularly review permissions to keep them up-to-date and secure.
Secure & Simple New Device Setups
Setting up new employee devices with consistent settings and security standards is time-consuming and challenging. Yet, without proper control, overlooked workstations can expose your business to cyber threats.
Network 1 Consulting can configure each device according to your specific policies before employees use them. This ensures consistent security standards and reduces vulnerabilities caused by forgotten or unused devices.
Save time, eliminate setup errors, and keep your company’s equipment safe from day one.
Securely Archive Employee Data After Departure
When employees leave your business, their emails, files, and messages often contain critical information. Losing or improperly handling this data can cause compliance issues or legal risks. Managing this retention can feel complicated and uncertain.
Network 1 Consulting can help you securely archive employee communications and files according to your legal and internal policies. Our experts help you determine exactly which information to retain and what you can safely delete.
Protect your business by confidently handling data retention.
Control Costs With Smart Software Licensing
Many businesses waste money on software licenses they no longer use or need. Tracking licenses manually leads to overspending and administrative headaches. Plus, software expenses can easily grow beyond your budget without proper management.
Network 1 Consulting can manage your Microsoft 365 licenses from ordering and deployment to reassignment. When employees join or leave, we will quickly provision or reclaim licenses to match your current needs.
Reduce unnecessary costs and simplify license tracking to make your budget go further.
Key Benefits of Working With Us During Employee Onboarding & Offboarding
Stay Ahead of Unauthorized Access Attempts
After employee offboarding, you risk overlooking accounts or permissions. Forgotten access rights create openings for unauthorized logins or misuse of sensitive data. This vulnerability leaves your organization exposed to insider threats or external attacks.
Network 1 Consulting will proactively alert your admins about abnormal account activity or suspicious login attempts through our SIEM tools. Our alerts allow immediate action to address forgotten deprovisioning steps or potential insider threats.
Keep your business secure by quickly identifying and neutralizing threats.
Smooth Transitions That Support Employee Communication
Setting up emails, calendars, Teams channels, and voicemail for new hires is complicated and time-consuming. If done incorrectly, your employees might miss important meetings or critical communications. Disorganized setups cause delays and frustration, hurting productivity from day one.
Network 1 Consulting simplifies onboarding and offboarding with automated scripts and precise admin console actions. We also manage forwarding or archiving emails to maintain communication continuity.
Avoid missed messages and preserve critical knowledge. Make employee transitions seamless with our support.
Reliable Helpdesk Support During Employee Transitions
New employees often struggle with unfamiliar systems, while managers face added pressure during offboarding. Without proper support, these transitions create confusion, delays, and lost time.
Network 1 Consulting provides direct IT helpdesk support during the onboarding process. New team members receive walkthroughs and onboarding guides. Managers get help managing system access, accounts, and data handoffs when someone leaves.
You reduce friction and keep momentum during transitions. Rely on our service desk to help your team stay productive from day one.
