Access requests, onboarding, offboarding and VPN problems answered in minutes.
Most service desk tickets are the same twenty requests: access, onboarding, offboarding, a software install, a VPN that will not connect. Agents pick up each ticket, check it against your policy and your identity provider, and resolve it or prepare it for one-click approval. Your IT team keeps the requests that need a person.
ITSD-4410: access to prod-billing read-only
Resolved in 6 minutes. Logged for the quarterly access review
[The work behind every ticket]
01The manual work
Triage
IT reads each ticket, asks who approved it, finds the right group, makes the change and writes back. The same steps, hundreds of times a month.
02The agent handoff
Request resolved
Frontier agents check the request against policy, collect the approval, make the change in the right system and confirm it worked.
03Your engineers’ role
Approve
Write the policy once. Approve the requests that need judgment and spend the rest of the week on real projects.

[Example scenario]
A 600-person company with a 4-person IT team, Okta, Google Workspace, Jira Service Management and Slack. Mondays bring new joiners, leavers and a full queue.
Queue fills upSignal
23 new tickets since Friday: 6 onboardings, 1 offboarding, 9 access requests, 4 software installs, 3 VPN problems.
Onboarding runsAgent
Creates accounts for 6 joiners from the HR record, assigns Okta groups by role, and schedules laptop handover with the office.
Offboarding, done fullyAgent
A leaver from Sales: suspends Okta, transfers Drive ownership to the manager, revokes 4 SaaS seats and 2 AWS access keys.
Requests resolved or queuedAgent
7 access requests match policy and get manager approval in Slack. 2 ask for admin rights and wait for IT.
IT admin reviews twoYour team
Approves one admin request for 8 hours, declines the other with a note. Agents apply both decisions.
VPN tickets closedAgent
All 3 VPN tickets trace to an expired client certificate. Pushes the renewed certificate and confirms each user can connect.

[Frontier resolution agents]
Agents work the queue against your written policy, so a new joiner is ready on day one and a leaver is fully offboarded the same hour.
[What changes]
| Moment | Today | With frontier agents |
|---|---|---|
| Access request | Waits a day in the queue | Resolved in minutes once approved |
| New joiner | Missing access in week one | Ready on day one, by role |
| Leaver | Accounts found months later | Offboarded fully the same hour |
| Temporary admin | Granted and forgotten | Expires on its own, logged |
| Access review | A spreadsheet every quarter | Every grant already on the record |
[Integrations]
[Adoption path]
The rollout follows the four phases of the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, so it fits the plan your cloud team already runs.
01Envision
Pick the top requests
Start with the five request types that fill most of the queue. Agents draft resolutions for IT to approve.
02Align
Write the policy
Agree who can request what, who approves, and how long access lasts. Agents follow it to the letter.
03Launch
Open it to everyone
Every team files requests in Slack or the portal. Agents resolve the routine ones and route the rest.
04Scale
Make it the default
Joiners, movers and leavers run from the HR record. IT works on projects, not the queue.
