Summary

Implementing SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) provisioning in-house can be challenging due to fragmentation issues across onboarding, implementation, and triage. These challenges lead to significant engineering costs, delayed time to market, and potential security risks. Building a resilient Directory Sync requires extensive testing with multiple customers across various IdPs (Identity Providers). WorkOS offers an alternative solution by automating Directory Sync and enabling faster SCIM integrations for enterprise customers.
