Business challenges

Airports are one of the most complex ecosystems, and providing IT services requires specialized skills and knowledge. To optimize the efficiency of IT operations, WAISL Limited wanted a solution to manage and underpin such a critical infrastructure.

Unlike any other industry, airports have zero tolerance for cybersecurity issues and breaches, since they not only tarnish the brand image and cause financial losses, but also endanger lives. Therefore, it is of utmost importance for the company to have access to a wide variety of products to ensure a digitally safe environment for its customers.

How did ManageEngine help?

The company was looking for products to oversee and remotely manage functions. For almost a year and a half, they evaluated 1,900 parameters and vendors in the space, not just ManageEngine. So, what made WAISL Limited choose ManageEngine? After rigorous evaluation, ManageEngine topped the list after a very long, drawn-out process. Shanmugakani praises the tool’s ease of implementation, intuitive and easy-to-use interface, fantastic after-sales support, and ManageEngine’s customer-centric approach.

WAISL Limited utilizes ServiceDesk Plus for ticketing, along with OpManager and Applications Manager for assessing the performance of servers, networks, and IoT devices, and Analytics Plus for real-time reporting. Also, the company wants to onboard SIEM products like Log360 and will be evaluating other ManageEngine products in the near future.

Unpatched systems were a serious security threat identified by the organization, which, if ignored, could become a source of data breaches. To tackle this issue effectively, the company deployed the AD360 suite of products in addition to Vulnerability Manager Plus. With this adoption, the systems were up-to-date, and the company’s security posture significantly improved.

“ManageEngine has been our trusted partner in running airport IT operations in some of the most challenging, some of the largest airport infrastructures in India and across the world.”
