Question on: Rippling
How is Rippling innovating in the field of HR and IT management for businesses?How is Rippling innovating in the field of HR and IT management for businesses?
Rippling merges traditionally separate point-Saas softwares into one unified platform for workforces across the globe. Rippling is the only platform that has unified the HRIS and IdP into one. This gives IT and HR teams a single pane of glass and one source of truth—the employee graph—that automatically stays updated in real-time. IT is then able to utilize this native, rich user data to securely manage identity, access, devices, and inventory—all from within Rippling—instead of piecing together separate point solutions that each only solve a piece of the puzzle.
Automation is a key feature of ours, handling routine tasks like updating records, provisioning access, and distributing devices, which frees up HR and IT professionals to focus on other work. That makes things like handling onboarding, transitions, and offboarding very streamlined. For example, when HR offboards someone in Rippling, not only do we handle all the HR steps, but in the same flow, you can also automatically deprovision their app access, transfer Google Drive folders to their manager, and lock, wipe, and retrieve their laptop—all in just a few clicks.
Another strength of Rippling is scalability – we cater to businesses of all sizes, allowing companies to pay for only the features they need. Rippling includes robust analytics that provide valuable insights, helping businesses make data-driven decisions. Security is paramount, with encrypted data and compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA. Employee self-service is also emphasized, empowering staff to manage their own data and access resources through a centralized portal, reducing HR workload. Rippling also integrates easily with 600+ third-party applications, preserving existing workflows while adding advanced features.
In sum, without Rippling, HR and IT are operating from siloed sources of truth—the HRIS and IdP— that easily get out of sync, leading to a lot of manual, duplicative work making updates to user records and security risks arise because things easily slip through the cracks (like an off-boarded employee retaining access). Rippling's unified and scalable platform enhances efficiency, security, and user experience, enabling businesses to operate more seamlessly and focus on core objectives.
Rippling is transforming HR and IT management by unifying payroll, benefits, device provisioning, and compliance into a single, automated platform. Its seamless integration of HR and IT functions enables businesses to onboard employees in just 90 seconds, with payroll, benefits, and device setup occurring automatically. Additionally, Rippling leverages AI to provide actionable workforce insights, streamlining administrative tasks and enhancing strategic decision-making.
