Business challenges

  • Password expiration notifications: Onset needed a reliable way to inform users ahead of time that their passwords were expiring, particularly for remote users.
  • Password policy compliance: Ensuring that passwords were rotated according to policy and guiding users on minimum password requirements was essential.
  • High volume of password reset requests: The company faced a significant number of password reset requests, impacting IT productivity.
  • Effective remote support: Providing password reset solutions for users with active directory accounts, especially remote employees, was a challenge.

The problem

Onset Computer Corp faced several critical challenges in managing their password policies and ensuring compliance. Users were often unaware of impending password expirations, leading to a surge in last-minute reset requests. This issue was particularly problematic for remote users, who struggled with timely password changes.

"We needed a way to inform users ahead of time that passwords were expiring and needed an efficient way for remote users to change them."

William Gullicksen, VP of Information Security

Additionally, ensuring that all users adhered to the company's password rotation policy and understood the minimum password requirements added to the complexity. The high volume of password reset requests was straining the IT team, who needed a solution that would streamline the process and reduce their workload.

The solution

ADSelfService Plus provided Onset Computer Corp with a comprehensive solution to their password management challenges. The software's notification feature effectively reminded users of impending password expirations, significantly improving compliance and reducing last-minute resets.

"ADSelfService fit these needs and I had used it at another company, so I was already familiar with it."

William Gullicksen, VP of Information Security

The self-service password reset function was particularly impactful, offering a user-friendly interface for both office and remote employees. This led to a 75% reduction in password reset requests.

Furthermore, the software facilitated password policy enforcement by guiding users through the password change process in alignment with company requirements.

"It allows us to ensure passwords are rotated at the required frequency and it provides guidance to the user on what the minimum password requirements are in accordance with our policy."

William Gullicksen, VP of Information Security

The support provided by ManageEngine was exceptional, with quick and effective responses to any issues, further enhancing the overall user experience.
