IT & device management

IT provisioning often becomes complicated as organizations grow. Devices are ordered through one system, access is managed in another, and support requests flow through multiple channels. Over time, manual steps, spreadsheets, and tool handoffs start to accumulate.
This checklist helps IT leaders evaluate how their current provisioning workflow actually operates. By reviewing key areas such as device delivery, application access, offboarding, and audit readiness, you can quickly identify where manual coordination still dominates—and where a lifecycle-driven platform could simplify execution.
How this checklist helps
Use this self-assessment to:
- Identify where IT provisioning relies on manual coordination, spreadsheets, or multiple tools
- Understand where delays or security gaps may occur during onboarding, role changes, or offboarding
- Evaluate whether your provisioning workflows scale efficiently as hiring grows globally
- See where centralization and automation could reduce operational effort for IT teams
What’s inside the checklist
This resource provides a structured checklist designed to help IT teams evaluate whether their provisioning workflow could be replaced—or significantly simplified—by a unified platform.
Inside, you’ll find:
- 9 checklist sections covering the core foundations of IT provisioning
- Simple checklist items across devices, access, support, and offboarding that reveal where manual steps still exist
- Guidance on interpreting your results, based on your answers
The checklist takes only a few minutes to complete and provides a clear snapshot of how your current provisioning workflow operates today.
What the checklist evaluates
The checklist reviews the operational components that typically make up a modern IT provisioning workflow, including:
- Ownership and scope across employees, contractors, and global hires
- Device provisioning, logistics, and lifecycle management
- Application access provisioning and identity controls
- IT support operations and employee device issues
- Offboarding workflows and device recovery
- Visibility, reporting, and audit readiness
Together, these areas help reveal whether your provisioning process is lifecycle-driven—or dependent on repeated manual coordination.
Who this resource is for
This checklist is designed for organizations managing IT provisioning across distributed or global teams.
It’s especially useful for:
- IT managers and IT operations leaders responsible for provisioning workflows
- Infrastructure or security teams managing devices and access controls
- Operations leaders responsible for scaling IT operations efficiently
- Companies expanding globally without IT teams in every region
- Organizations evaluating whether their current provisioning workflow can scale
Whether your organization supports 50 workers or several thousand, this assessment helps determine how much operational effort your provisioning process requires today.
How Deel IT can replace fragmented provisioning workflows

FAQs
What does an IT provisioning workflow typically include?
An IT provisioning workflow usually covers device ordering and setup, application access provisioning, identity management, onboarding and offboarding processes, and IT support for employees.
Why do IT provisioning workflows become complex over time?
As organizations grow, they often add tools, vendors, and processes for different parts of IT operations. Over time, this can create fragmented workflows that require manual coordination across systems.
What are the signs of a fragmented provisioning workflow?
Common signs include spreadsheets tracking devices, manual access requests, inconsistent onboarding processes, delayed offboarding, and limited visibility into devices and application access.
How can centralized platforms simplify provisioning workflows?
Centralized platforms reduce fragmentation by managing devices, access, security, and support in one system. Deel IT combines device provisioning, application access, security enforcement, and global support in a single platform, helping IT teams automate lifecycle workflows and reduce manual coordination across tools.
