ADManager Plus helps Accsys technologies effectively automate its joiner-mover-leaver lifecycle management

Business challenges

• Manual Onboarding and Offboarding: Accsys faced difficulties in manually setting up new employees in Active Directory before their arrival and processing departing employees' accounts.
• Active Directory Maintenance: The IT team struggled to maintain an accurate and clean Active Directory, leading to an excess of inactive or redundant user accounts.

The problem

Accsys encountered significant difficulties with their Active Directory management. Manual processes for onboarding and offboarding employees were cumbersome and time-consuming, often taking up valuable time that the team could have spent on other critical tasks.

Additionally, the lack of proper maintenance had led to Active Directory bloat, with their AD consisting of over 1000 user accounts, while the actual number of employees was only 300. This discrepancy not only caused inefficiencies but also posed security risks, as unmonitored inactive accounts could potentially be exploited.

The solution

To address these challenges, Accsys implemented ADManager Plus. Having previously used ADManager Plus and seen results, Pitcher remarked that deploying the solution in Accsys' IT environment proved to be an easy decision, adding.

The solution automated the onboarding and offboarding processes, ensuring new employees were set up in Active Directory before their arrival and departing employees' accounts were efficiently processed. This automation freed up significant time for the IT team, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks. The robust reporting features of ADManager Plus were particularly beneficial, as it provided a comprehensive view of Accsys' AD environment to its IT team and enhanced the security posture of the organization's manufacturing operations.

To illustrate the positive impact ADManager Plus had on the overall IT operations of Accsys, Pitcher recounted how the solution's identity governance and administration capabilities helped his IT team drastically reduce inactive AD accounts.

The visual dashboards and simplified reports also made it easy for senior management to understand the status and health of the IT infrastructure. With these improvements, Accsys was able to maintain a cleaner, more secure Active Directory environment, enhancing overall efficiency and security.
