You have spent the last eighteen months rolling out Okta, Entra, SailPoint, or Saviynt.
It was expensive. It was politically exhausting. But you did it because you needed a "Single Source of Truth".
You sold the Board on a vision: When we disable a user in HR, they are instantly disabled everywhere.
That vision is a lie.
It is not a lie because the technology is bad. Okta and SailPoint are incredible platforms. It is a lie because the ecosystem they rely on is broken.
The identity automation gap: Where the ‘last mile’ breaks
Identity Governance relies on a simple circuit. The "Brain" (your IdP) sends a signal to the "Limb" (the App) to cut access.
For 70% of your stack, that circuit works. The API catches the signal, and the door locks instantly.
But for the other 30% of your apps, the wire is cut. These are the non-SCIM apps and disconnected applications that break your automation chain.
Maybe the vendor locked it behind a $100k "Enterprise" paywall (The SCIM Tax). Maybe it’s a legacy tool that never built an API. Maybe it’s an internal admin panel.
When your expensive IGA platform tries to deprovision a user from these apps, the automation dies.
- The "instant" security signal becomes a Jira ticket.
- The automated workflow becomes a human admin logging into a browser.
- The "Single Source of Truth" becomes a spreadsheet.
You are only as secure as your manual workflows
Security is binary. You don't get credit for locking the front door if you leave the garage open.
If you have a state-of-the-art IGA tool, but you are still manually offboarding users from Adobe, Figma, or your internal admin panels, you do not have an automated identity program.
You have a semi-automated program with dangerous manual failovers.
This compromises the entire investment:
- Audit Risk: Your IGA dashboard says "Completed," but the actual fulfillment happened three days later by a human who might have missed a step.
- Wasted Budget: You are paying huge license fees for governance tools that can only govern a portion of your environment.
- Security Gaps: The most dangerous access often lives in the "disconnected" apps – design files, source code, customer data – that are the hardest to govern.
These problems come from a simple root cause: A large portion of your stack falls into the category described in The “Un-Automatable” Disconnected Apps.
Finish the job
We didn't build Stitchflow to replace your IdP. We built it to make your IdP actually work.
We believe that if an app is important enough to give a user access to, it is important enough to automate.
Stitchflow functions as the "Last Mile" infrastructure. We take the signal from Okta or SailPoint, and we deliver it to the apps they can't reach.
We use resilient browser automation to bridge the gap for non-SCIM apps, and we rely on human-in-the-loop reliability to ensure the circuit never breaks.
Your Identity investment isn't a waste. It’s just unfinished. Stop letting the "disconnected" apps hold your security posture hostage.
Ready to eliminate identity automation gaps in your environment?
Your identity program is only as strong as the apps your IdP can’t reach. Stitchflow closes that last mile and automates every app — SCIM or not.
Book a demo to see how the Identity Automation Gap disappears when every app becomes automatable.
