Integrating ARS with BambooHR (3rd party HRIS software)

Hi! We are looking to integrate ARS with BambooHR. We would like to use BambooHR (3rd party cloud based HRIS software) to create our user accounts, then push them to ARS so all the policies, workflows, etc are used when the user is created in AD. Is this possible? BambooHR has available APIs, but we aren't sure if ARS will be able to send or receive data using he APIs.

Any thoughts?

  • It comes down what the APIs let you do.

    To provision from a system like that, you have several options that revolved around the Active Roles Sync Service:

    1) Direct database access (SQL, Oracle or generic ODBC)

    2) Flat file import - i.e. HR system exports to a flat file and the AR Sync Service Reads this

    As far as API's go, if the HR system can initiate actions via .Net / COM (or supports inbound interrogation that way), that's certainly another path.  AR also supports provisioning via SOAP.

    This the kind of stuff that you would really want to discuss with a qualified Integrator whether that be a Quest Partner or Quest PS themselves.
