Business challenges

  • Staff members had to rely on the IT team to reset passwords or make changes to their profiles, resulting in delays and inefficiencies.
  • Implementing an efficient and effective self-service password management strategy.

The problem

City High faced challenges with its IT resources and processes, particularly around password resets and self-service capabilities for its staff. Prior to implementing ADSelfService Plus, the Information Technology Manager was the sole person responsible for managing IT requests, which could be a daunting task given the limited IT resources. Additionally, staff members did not have a self-service solution in place, which meant they had to rely on the IT team for any password resets, profile information changes, or group subscriptions.

The solution

ADSelfService Plus was implemented to provide the necessary self-service password management functionality. The solution also included the ability to manage profile information and group subscriptions. ADSelfService Plus was easy to configure and use, making it an ideal fit for City High.

The implementation of ADSelfService Plus has significantly reduced the burden on the IT Manager. Staff members can now manage their own password resets, profile information, and group subscriptions, saving valuable time for the IT Manager. Edward Crist was impressed with the ease of use and configuration of the solution, making it an ideal fit for City High.

ADSelfService Plus by ManageEngine has provided City High with an efficient and effective self-service password management solution. The burden on the IT Manager has been significantly reduced, while staff members can easily manage their own password resets, profile information, and group subscriptions. Overall, ADSelfService Plus has been a valuable addition to City High's IT infrastructure.

"I was very impressed and still am impressed. It, it does exactly what we need. Plus, uh, it seems to be very easy to configure and also to use."
