Automate employee offboarding with minimal effort

Stop paying for licenses your former employees no longer use. Effortlessly align your internal Active Directory with external SaaS platforms to reduce costs and strengthen security.

No more spending hours on manual offboarding

Manual offboarding is a drain on your resources and your budget. When employees leave your organization, their access to external services—like Autodesk, Adobe, and Salesforce—often remains active. This creates significant financial leakage as you continue to pay for expensive specialty licenses that sit idle. Beyond the cost, it leaves your sensitive corporate data vulnerable.

Universal Directory Sync (UDS) eliminates this administrative burden by automating the entire user-removal process. As a specialized extension of the OpenLM Platform, UDS identifies when you remove a user from your internal directory and mirrors that action across your external SaaS ecosystem.

Automate license reclamation

Instantly trigger user deletions in external apps to ensure licenses are unassigned the moment a worker departs.

Bridge the gap with Cloud Broker

UDS works in tandem with OpenLM Directory Sync and the Cloud Broker to execute deletions via API or manual triggers.

Maintain flexible control

Choose your level of automation. You can automate deletions entirely, receive manual notifications for high-stakes accounts, or set up email confirmations once a removal is successful.

Support custom services

For platforms lacking a direct API, you can upload a CSV file. UDS will cross-reference your internal changes and notify you to perform the necessary manual removals.

By focusing strictly on automated removal, UDS ensures your license counts remain accurate and your environment stays secure without the manual effort.

The flow: How it works

Universal Directory Sync acts as the bridge between your internal changes and your external services.

Detection: Directory Sync monitors your internal Active Directory for deletions or group membership changes .
Communication: The system notifies the Cloud Broker, which holds the credentials for your external services.
Execution: Identity Alignment commands the external service (e.g., GitLab, Autodesk Cloud) to remove the user or revoke their license. LDAP Connector brings all directory data to your configured Amazon data source: S3 bucket or SQS.
Confirmation: You receive an email notification confirming the action or detailing any errors encountered during the process .
