Business challenges

  • Cumbersome credential resets: Employees frequently encountered errors while resetting credentials, leading to a high volume of manual help desk interventions.
  • Scaling support post-COVID: With about 80% of Innodata's staff working remotely, traditional, help-desk-dependent password reset methods became inefficient and time-consuming for the organization.

The problem

Innodata's legacy credential reset system demanded that users sought IT intervention to change passwords, which resulted in operational friction.

"Our administrative teams were doing a lot of credential resets for the users, which was not a nice thing."

Subhash Singh Bisht, The chief information security officer of Innodata

The proliferation of remote work further escalated the problem, as the organization's office-centric support processes urgently needed a revamp when 80% of its staff moved offsite. Additionally, the absence of integrated two-factor authentication left a gap in Innodata's security posture. These challenges prompted its IT team to evaluate an identity security solution that can protect office and remote workforces alike.

The solution

Innodata began evaluating market options and found that ADSelfService Plus matched its expectations. The solution enabled fast, simple self-service credential reset, with its built-in multi-factor authentication being an added advantage. The ease of deployment impressed both users and administrators, leading to adoption.

"It worked well on our expectations. It was fast, it was quick, and it had two-factor authentication automatically enabled."

Subhash Singh Bisht, The chief information security officer of Innodata

ADSelfService Plus transformed Innodata's credential management process into a secure, self-service experience. Fitting with its remote-first strategy, users across devices and locations rely on the solution's unified portal and mobile application for quick password resets.

"We are just using a single portal for all our users, although we have a heterogeneous AD environment."

Subhash Singh Bisht, The chief information security officer of Innodata

The deployment of ADSelfService Plus resulted in reduced password reset requests, enhanced security for endpoints, and improved user satisfaction. To illustrate the efficiency of ADSelfService Plus, Bisht noted how IT intervention in credential resets and its associated overheads went down drastically.

"After deploying ADSelfService Plus, our investment in resetting credentials for users has gone down to almost nil."

Innodata also benefitted from ManageEngine's responsive support team, highlighting their proactive approach towards ticket resolution. Bisht noted the involvement of ManageEngine's senior staff and prompt escalation when needed, underscoring dedication and collaborative resolution. Innodata's unwavering trust in ManageEngine was evident in its growing utilization of the latter's solutions to secure its IT assets.

"We have recently increased our use of ManageEngine, starting from probably 50 to 75 endpoints, and now we are approximately managing 4,800 endpoints today."

Innodata's leadership also expressed satisfaction in how ADSelfService Plus delivered value, with Bisht summarizing, "ADSelfService Plus delivered good value for our investment."
