Enterprise use case · Workday + Okta + Microsoft 365 + ServiceNow
Employee lifecycle automation
Lifecycle changes create tickets in several teams, and nobody sees the whole picture. Joiners, movers and leavers are handled end to end with a case record and approval.
Architecture
One governed run
How it starts: A webhook, schedule or HTTP poll of Workday starts the run.
Step by step
How the process runs
- 01
Context
Workday employee and recruitment records are read.
- 02
Case
A ServiceNow ticket tracks the lifecycle change.
- 03
Approval
Access outside policy waits for approval.
- 04
Identity
Okta users, groups and roles change.
- 05
Collaboration
Teams, email and calendar follow-up.
Control
Human decision and exception path
Human decision
The access owner approves privileged and non-standard access.

- Leavers are deactivated first.
Evidence
What gets audited
- HR context.
- Case and approvals.
- Okta and Microsoft 365 operations.
Nexus runs on premises, in private or sovereign cloud, or air-gapped. Credentials stay in the vault, roles decide who can approve, and the execution record stays inside your deployment boundary.
