Access should be simple. Too often, it’s the opposite
Every day, the same access problems keep repeating.
People start work without the access they need.
Requests disappear into queues.
Nobody knows who approves what or how long it will take.
These user experience failures slow work, drive up costs, and erode trust in IT.
Poor onboarding
New starters wait days for access. They arrive ready to contribute and spend their first week blocked.
Confusion and fragmentation
Users don’t know where to request access, who approves it, or if anyone is accountable. Each system behaves differently.
Slow, unclear approvals
Requests sit in service desk queues with no ownership, no urgency and no visibility for the person waiting.
Inconsistent user experiences
Users face different access processes for every system they need. Nothing feels familiar or predictable.
Shadow IT and risk
When official routes fail, people find workarounds. Unsanctioned tools, shared accounts and untracked access spread.
Modernisation disruption
Migrations and identity modernisation add complexity. Access issues slow adoption and undermine Entra programmes.
One place to request access. One clear experience for everyone
Alira changes the access experience with speed, clarity, and confidence.
Alira exists to close the gap between modern identity platforms and day‑to‑day reality.
It gives employees a simple, consistent way to request access, while giving IT the control, visibility and governance they need across the entire estate.
No tickets. No guesswork. No fragmented journeys.

Designed for people. Built for secure identity
Alira gives employees one clear, intuitive place to request access to everything they need.
The experience feels simple and predictable for users, while remaining fully governed and controlled for IT.
Built on Microsoft Entra, Alira removes friction at the front door without compromising trust, security or oversight.
Approvals that move at business speed
Alira routes access requests directly to the right manager or delegated approver, with real‑time notifications in Microsoft Teams or Slack. Approvals happen where work already happens, removing delays caused by inboxes, queues and ticket chasing.
A consistent, branded access experience
Alira can be fully branded to match your organisation, making access requests feel like a natural part of your digital workplace. That consistency builds trust, drives adoption and removes the need for training or guidance.
Visibility for all at every step
Users receive clear, real‑time updates as requests are submitted, approved and fulfilled. No uncertainty. No repeated follow‑ups. Everyone knows what’s happening and who owns the next step.
Built on Microsoft Entra, without the complexity
Alira integrates deeply with Microsoft Entra ID, Entra ID Governance, Privileged Identity Management and access packages. IT teams gain improved governance, reporting and policy enforcement, while users never need to interact with Entra directly.
One of Alira’s most powerful capabilities is that it provides the same access experience to all users, no matter where your app lives right now. You can deliver consistency and simplicity to your users from day one, letting you modernise and migrate applications in the background, while Alira shields users from complexity and change.
Meaning you can start to benefit from Alira, even if you’re not fully on Entra yet.

When access works properly, everything else improves
A clear, consistent access experience doesn’t just feel better, it changes behaviour.
Employees trust the process, use it properly and get on with their work.
Delivering better productivity, security and cost control across the organisation.
Build user trust and satisfaction
When access works, frustration disappears. Alira helps reposition IT as an enabler of work, improving day‑to‑day experience and confidence across the business.
Reclaim thousands of working hours
Alira removes access delays so approvals happen quickly and work doesn’t stall. Freeing up thousands of hours that would otherwise be lost waiting for access.
Enable your identity strategies
A simple, trusted access experience encourages users to engage with Microsoft Entra rather than bypass it. Strengthening adoption of your wider identity approach.
Shut down shadow IT at the source
By making approved access easy and dependable, Alira removes the need for workarounds. Reducing unmanaged tools, risky access and compliance exposure.
Take pressure off the service desk
Clear self‑service access means fewer tickets, fewer follow‑ups and far less time spent on routine requests—freeing IT to focus on higher‑value work.
Save big by reducing licence waste
Clear insight into access and usage makes it easy to spot licence wastage and take action, supporting ongoing cost control without heavy effort.

Alira changed that. Our users now have a single, branded portal for all their applications. Onboarding new team members, particularly during acquisitions, takes hours rather than days.”
