Where access feels effortless
Alira brings access requests, approvals and licence management into one clear, consistent experience. Simple for users. Controlled for IT.
Access should be simple. Too often, it’s the opposite
Every day, the same access problems keep repeating. People start work without what they need. Requests disappear into queues. Nobody knows who approves what or how long it takes.
These failures slow work, inflate costs, and erode trust in IT.
Poor onboardingNew starters wait days for access. They arrive ready to contribute and spend their first week blocked.
Confusion and fragmentationUsers don’t know where to request access, who approves it, or if anyone is accountable.
Slow, unclear approvalsRequests sit in service desk queues with no ownership, no urgency and no visibility.
Shadow IT and riskWhen official routes fail, people find workarounds. Unsanctioned tools and untracked access spread.
Licence bleedWithout visibility, licences pile up on inactive users while others wait weeks for what they need.
Designed for people.
Built for secure identity.
Alira gives employees one clear, intuitive place to request everything they need. Simple and predictable for users, fully governed for IT — built on Microsoft Entra without the complexity.
