WHAT WE WALKED INTO
WHAT WE WALKED INTO
A spend bill that grew quarter over quarter without anyone signing off on more seats. Joiners were provisioned promptly; leavers were de-provisioned eventually.
The IT team's identity tool didn't talk to the spend tool. Both were correct individually. Together they were lying.
