## Why This Exists
|
||||
## The Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Enterprise identity data lies. A user gets promoted in Workday, but their Active Directory title doesn't update. An employee is terminated, but their Entra ID account stays enabled. A legal name change happens in HR, but AD still has the old one — quietly, for months.
|
||||
Enterprise systems don't talk to each other. They each hold a piece of the truth — and the gaps between them are where problems hide.
|
||||
|
||||
These aren't edge cases. They're compliance risks, security gaps, and audit findings waiting to happen. And they're almost impossible to catch manually across three platforms.
|
||||
A terminated employee still active in Active Directory. A device enrolled in Intune but untracked in the helpdesk. Fifty laptops inbound from a voluntary retirement program with no system of record for where they go next.
|
||||
|
||||
Nexus-MCP was built to surface exactly this: identity drift between Workday HCM, Active Directory, and Entra ID — detected automatically, severity-scored, and reported before it becomes a problem.
|
||||
These aren't edge cases. They're the normal state of enterprise IT when systems grow independently and nobody builds the layer that connects them.
|
||||
|
||||
Built on my own time. Driven by a real problem observed in a production enterprise environment.
|
||||
Nexus is that layer.

## What It Does
|
||||
|
||||
Nexus polls enterprise systems via their native APIs, normalizes the data, and surfaces inconsistencies — scored by severity, ready for review or automation.
|
||||
|
||||
Each integration is a self-contained **shard**: independently togglable, independently testable, and designed to be extended without touching anything else. The platform grows with the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
**Current focus areas:**
|
||||
|
||||
- **Identity** — Reconciles user records across Active Directory and Entra ID. Detects status drift, title mismatches, department
|
||||
changes, and name variances before they become compliance findings. Workday HCM integration is in active development.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Assets** *(in development)* — Correlates device data across Intune, Lansweeper, and BMC Helix to build a complete picture of device assignment history. Built to support PC refresh programs, voluntary retirement collections, and asset lifecycle management.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Logistics** *(in development)* — Tracks device movement through receiving, staging, deployment, and decommission. Started as a solution for tracking inbound refresh hardware; designed to scale to full lifecycle logistics.
|
||||
|
||||
**The roadmap:** Host in Azure. Expose via Microsoft Copilot agent. Turn multi-system investigations into conversations.
