Some time ago, while working as a consultant for a large multinational, I noticed a disturbing pattern.
Every week, there was a queue of new employees in the hallway or waiting room. They had laptops, badges, and coffee... but they weren't working. They were chatting or reading PDFs.
I asked the IT Director: "Why aren't they logged in?" He sighed: "We are waiting for approvals to create their JDE users. It usually takes 48 to 72 hours."
As an external consultant, my mind immediately went to the billable hours.
Do the math. If you have 5 new hires sitting idle for 3 days, and let's say the average cost to the company is $100/day (salary + overhead), you are burning $1,500 every single week. That is $72,000 a year wasted on "administrative latency."
The problem wasn't technical. Creating a user is fast. The problem was the workflow.
This week, we are going to fix this. We will build an Orchestration that handles everything: from finding the right boss to creating the Address Book and User ID automatically.
Let's stop burning money.
Mario.
