What do you call a computer that sings? A-Dell! But in the world of IT professionals, there’s something far less musical causing a considerable amount of concern. We’re talking IT offboarding here! The grey area that isn’t always a sweet serenade. Recently, research shows that a whooping 70% of the tech wizards have been affected negatively by incomplete offboarding. Your guess is as good as mine; it’s like hitting the delete key, but forgetting to empty the recycle bin.
It’s all fun and games until an account that wasn’t deprovisioned causes a security incident and more trash to talk about in IT circles. The fuss, however, doesn’t stop there. Surprise, surprise! The monthly resources bill comes in and guess who’s still on that list? That’s right, the softwares, services, and tools that aren’t in use anymore but still being billed for. It’s like a CPU ghost—consumes power, but does no work. And as if that wasn’t enough, there are instances of whispers about the missed handoff of a critical resource or account. It’s the equivalent of forgetting your mom’s birthday—yes, that disastrous.
What’s the most shocking part? Even those who say they walk the memory lane for about five hours to ensure a thorough offboarding process, somehow still experience these mishaps. It’s like defragmenting your hard drive only to find that you’re still running out of storage space.
In the land of bytes and bits, unplugging means more than flipping a switch off. Professionals need to ensure that when the music stops, the computer doesn’t continue singing. Ensuring a thorough offboarding process is critical to avoid unsecured accounts, unnecessary bills, and missed handoffs. Despite spending an average of five hours, most professionals are still facing these unnecessary issues. So, the next time you ‘Ctrl + Alt + Del’, make sure every melody of the process hits the right note.
