Business challenge

Being the world's largest district cooling services provider, Empower experienced its share of IT management challenges. The limitations of the company's native tools made it difficult to manage and secure its hybrid environment.

As the IT team struggled with Active Directory management, audit requirements, and self-service capabilities, they sought out an on-premises application that could revamp their IT operations. They were quick to land at ManageEngine AD360, a centralized identity and access management solution. The solution could single-handedly take care of managing and auditing their hybrid infrastructure, which included Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange.

The solution

Empower chose four out of six modules of AD360: ADManager Plus, ADAudit Plus, ADSelfService Plus, and Exchange Reporter Plus. The ease of installation helped Empower's IT team set up AD360 in no time. Moreover, the comprehensive help documentation and 24-hour, multi-channel support made the solution easy to run, maintain, and operate.

The Active Directory management module, ADManager Plus, helped Empower with automatic user provisioning across its Active Directory and Exchange server, and bulk modification of user attributes and access permissions.

“We have been working with the application for almost half a decade now, and we consider it an indispensable part of our organization," said Syed Zaheer, a system administrator at Empower.

With real-time auditing, custom reporting, two-factor authentication, effortless hybrid Exchange reporting, and self-service password management capabilities, Empower has overcome its operational difficulties and remains focused on being the best in the industry.
