No tickets, no file transfers. ### Let's Get Started! Tell us a little about your environment and we’ll tailor the walkthrough. Why Aquera 1,300+ organizations run their identity lifecycle on Aquera 80+ HCM systems supported through pre-built connectors 1,000+ pre-built, bi-directional connectors across identity, ITSM, and apps Hours to deploy against the stack you already run, not months Better Together ## Your HCM is the system of record. Aquera makes sure the rest of your stack knows it. Your HCM ### The workforce system of record Authoritative employee data, job, and org structure. Payroll, tax, and benefits administration. Onboarding, performance, and workforce management. Whichever platform you run, Aquera has a pre-built connector. Aquera ### The automation and lifecycle engine Preboard prehires from recruiting before Day 1. Provision identity directory accounts and ITSM tickets on hire. Keep payroll, benefits, and 1,000+ apps in sync bi-directionally. Deprovision on exit with a complete audit trail. How It Works ## How the Aquera integration works. Aquera reads every joiner, mover, and leaver event from your HCM, automates provisioning across identity and IT, raises onboarding and offboarding tickets in your ITSM automatically, and keeps 1,000+ applications in sync, all with a full audit trail. 1 READ EVENTS ### Read joiner, mover, and leaver events from your HCM. Pre-built connectors detect every hire, transfer, and termination in real time, no file exports, no custom scripting. 2 PREBOARD ### Preboard prehires and provision access on Day 1. Directory accounts, application access, and ITSM tickets are created on a future-dated schedule so everything is ready before the start date. 3 SYNC & DEPROVISION ### Sync 1,000+ apps, then deprovision on exit. Bi-directional sync keeps every connected system current, and terminations trigger automatic, audited deprovisioning everywhere. Agentic AI ## Aquera Agentic AI Bridge Securely Connect Agentic AI Platforms to Your HCM System of Record for Trusted, Real-Time Workforce Insights If you’re looking to incorporate AI assistants and/or agents into your HR environment, you need a way to securely connect those technologies to your HCM system of record without compromising governance, permissions, or data integrity. The Aquera Agentic AI Bridge provides this needed function for organizations interested in bringing AI assistants and agents to query or manipulate HCM data or execute HR workflows, across the 80+ HCM systems Aquera connects. Acting as a centralized mediation layer, the Bridge enforces identity authentication, role-based permissions, and policy controls for every interaction while fully supporting your HCM’s native security model. ![](https://aquera.com/hubfs/ai-bridge-blue.svg) ### Connect AI to your HCM, without custom builds The AI Bridge unlocks HCM workforce events and identity data to the AI assistants and agent platforms your teams already use, no bespoke integration project. ![](https://aquera.com/hubfs/access-key-blue.svg) ### Governed by the access you already control Every AI request runs under authenticated, role-based permissions, agents see only the data and actions the requesting user is entitled to. ![](https://aquera.com/hubfs/agent-bot-blue.svg) ### Every agent action, fully audited Each AI-to-HCM interaction is logged with who asked, what ran, and what changed, audit-ready evidence alongside the rest of your lifecycle trail. ## Frequently asked questions What does Aquera integrate with? + Aquera connects your HCM, Workday, ADP, UKG, Paylocity, Paycor, Paycom, Paychex, Oracle HCM, BambooHR, Dayforce, isolved, HiBob, and more, to your identity directory, ITSM, payroll/benefits, and 1,000+ applications. How does Aquera connect to my HCM? + Aquera connects through pre-built connectors that use each HCM’s APIs to detect joiner, mover, and leaver events in real time, no manual file exports, no custom scripting. What is joiner-mover-leaver (JML) automation? + JML automation turns every hire, transfer, and termination in your HR system into automated downstream actions: accounts created, access assigned or changed, tickets opened and resolved, and access removed on exit, with a full audit trail. Can Aquera provision access before an employee’s start date? + Yes. Aquera preboarding pulls hire data from your recruiting or ATS system before the start date, so directory accounts, app access, and ITSM tickets are ready on Day 1. Does Aquera sync data bi-directionally? + Yes. Changes in the HCM flow out to connected systems, and relevant updates in downstream systems can be reflected back. Every change is fault-resilient and logged. Can Aquera connect my HCM to an identity directory like Entra ID or Okta? + Yes. Aquera connects your HCM to any major identity platform, Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Ping Identity, and others, provisioning and governing identities across the full lifecycle. Does Aquera replace my HCM or identity platform? + No. Your HCM remains the system of record and your IdP keeps authenticating. Aquera is the automation and connectivity layer in between that turns workforce events into provisioned, governed access. How does Aquera handle contractors and non-employees? + Aquera provides a dedicated system of record for contractors, vendors, and partners, each with an owner, an end date, and an audit trail, provisioned alongside employees without requiring your HCM to hold those records. How long does an Aquera integration take to deploy? + Weeks, not quarters. Aquera deploys with pre-built connectors, no custom engineering, and generates the configuration during onboarding, including source mappings, transformation rules, and scheduling. What is the Aquera Agentic AI Bridge? + The Aquera Agentic AI Bridge is a secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) gateway that lets AI-agent platforms, ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, or custom agents, read from and write to your HCM system of record with per-user authorization, complete audit trails, and zero stored credentials. It reaches the 80+ HCM systems Aquera connects. Can AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, or Microsoft Copilot access my HCM data securely? + Yes. Frontier assistants, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Perplexity, connect to your HCM through the Aquera Agentic AI Bridge as standard MCP clients. Every request is authenticated through your identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, or any OIDC/SAML IdP), authorized against the user’s actual entitlements, executed on their behalf, and logged. Can AI agents write to my HCM, or only read? + Both. Through the Aquera Agentic AI Bridge, AI agents can read workforce data and perform governed writes, update an address, request time off, or execute HR workflows, with every action gated by the permissions the requesting person already holds and captured in an exportable audit trail. Does Aquera store my HCM data? + No. The Aquera Agentic AI Bridge stores no PII in transit, Aquera is the pipe, not a data store. Authentication is enforced by your identity provider, agents never hold credentials to underlying systems, and a complete exportable audit trail supports GDPR and enterprise compliance requirements. ![](https://aquera.com/hubfs/plexus-depth.svg) ## Let’s get started.
