Business Challenge |
|
For any financial institution, security and risk management are priority requisites. And
at Libro, which treats its customers as owners, every aspect of security is dealt with
utmost precaution to avoid any kind of transactional flaw. Financial Data needs to be
protected against malicious usage by intruders. With multiple user accessed systems,
proper permissions need to be set to ensure that only the right user has access to
critical information and other system resources. With a clear vision to be
southwestern Ontario's preferred source for quality financial service, promotion of
security and effective management of users were realized as major challenges by
Libro.
"It happens to be a real tough job to keep a track on the user permissions related to
their access of the printer and USB ports on Systems with multiple user access. We
badly needed an option to create flexible policies for our users and devices.", said
Andrew Tennant, MCSE, ITP, Libro Financial Group. |

Solution |
Libro was in need of a solution that would enable creation of flexible policies for users
and devices, along with an inherent ability to generate reports extensively. In its quest
for such a software, Libro examined a variety of solutions offered by Policy Maker,
NetIQ, etc. These software neither supported all the features that were needed nor was
their reporting capability exceptional. Eventually Libro decided on ManageEngine
ADManager Plus which also extended a good number of customizable solutions. To its
surprise, issues like multiple user access, resource allocation and policy settings were
resolved instantaneously by ADManager Plus.
"ADManager Plus has good reporting features, plugs into many parts of AD and other
information systems. The ability for other members of the team to manage the
console, is yet another advantage of the product.", explained Andrew Tennant, Libro
Financial Group.
With ADManager Plus in hand, Libro could actively enforce all essentials of an
effective User Management System and also ensure security, without actually burning
a hole in its pocket. |

ADManager Plus Advantage |
There were many reasons that contributed to Libro's choice of ManageEngine ADManager Plus. Amongst them, the most prominent one was
ADManager Plus' ability to handle multiple users with its sound Bulk User Management feature. Reporting was yet another convincing aspect, that
was crafted to reduce the IT administrator's burden. The product also offered a bundle of essential features like Report Scheduling, web-based UI,
Compliance Support, etc available as a single comprehensive package, at a highly competitive price.
Along with an effective User Management, ADManager Plus also helped Libro achieve hassle-free Domain and Exchange Migrations.
"ADManager Plus helped us to a great extent during our Exchange Migration. We were able to ensure that we had perfect mailboxes, aliases, and
mailbox associations." remarked Andrew Tennant of Libro Financial Group.
Apart from these key features, Libro found good use of the product in identifying and resolving issues related to locked out users. With enhanced
options that allowed customization, user/device based policies could be formulated and applied to meet individual scenarios. And all this led to a
decent security tracking, that happens to be an important factor for any financial institution's reputation.

Result |
ManageEngine ADManager Plus, was able to cater to most of Libro's requirements on Active Directory Management. Libro was able to feel a notable
difference in its User Management Process after the deployment of ADManager Plus. Not only was the process automated, but also was greatly
simplified by the product. The extensive list of reports offered remarkable assistance in keeping track of Active Directory objects and data.
Specialized reports on stale/inactive users helped ward-off unwanted accounts along with the unforeseen security issues related to their existence ;
hence making even critical issues like security and compliance to be handled with ease and elegance.
Today at Libro, Active Directory is solely managed by an IT Administrator. He is now looking forward to the usage of ADManager Plus by his
colleagues in the Operations Team, and thereby reduce his workload in return.
"I would like to get our operations team to use it to create templates for user accounts, so that they can create new accounts more efficiently.",
exclaimed Andrew with a lot of confidence on ADManager Plus' easy to use UI.
The rich set of features and an affordable price tag makes ADManager Plus distinct among its competitors. With such a powerful tool in hand, Libro
financial group is now all set to reach its goal of delivering the best financial services to all its "owners". Thanks to ManageEngine ADManager Plus. |
