Business challenges

Barrie's existing identity management solution lacked the necessary features, making user provisioning and deprovisioning a manual, time-consuming, and inefficient process. This impacted their team's productivity, diverting focus from critical tasks to routine user management tasks. The organization needed a solution that could simplify user provisioning and deprovisioning while ensuring seamless identity management.

The solution

To address these challenges, Tony Domingues, project manager, project planning and delivery at Barrie, evaluated multiple identity governance and administration(IGA) solutions. During this evaluation, the company determined ADManager Plus, ManageEngine's IGA tool was the best fit for its requirements due to its simple-to-use interface and robust reporting features.

With the assistance of OnboardPro, ManageEngine's professional implementation service, Barrie successfully integrated ADManager Plus into its existing IT infrastructure. The solution automates the organization's user onboarding and off-boarding process with the help of User Creation Templates and Automation Policies, rapidly solving Barrie's pain points.

User Creation Templates allowed Barrie's IT team to standardize user provisioning by pre-defining attributes such as department, role-based access, and security settings. This eliminated inconsistencies and ensured that every new user is onboarded into the organization with the right permissions from day one.

Automation Policies further enhanced efficiency by enabling rule-based workflows to handle routine user lifecycle tasks, including account creation, management, and deactivation. By automating these critical processes, ADManager Plus helped Barrie minimize IT workload, improve compliance, and ensure seamless user management.

Additionally, the solution provides a centralized platform for managing user accounts efficiently, significantly reducing the time spent on routine administrative tasks. The intuitive UI also makes it easier for the IT team to navigate and utilize the tool effectively.

When asked to rate the solution and the OnboardPro Team, Domingues rated them 9 out of 10 and said he would recommend both the product and the service for its instant implementation and support. Additionally, he mentioned that the organization is now considering implementing ADAudit Plus, ManageEngine's auditing solution, to further enhance their IT governance and security measures.

"I am satisfied all of our requirements have been met with the service."
