Business challenges

  • After-hours Support Burden: Davis Express' understaffed IT administrative team was inundated with after-hours support calls—particularly for password-related issues—disrupting work-life balance.
  • Password management gaps: Davis Express faced difficulties enforcing password policies while maintaining user-friendliness. The organization was also looking to simplify and accelerate the resolution to account unlocks, as it plays an integral part in maintaining end-user productivity and security posture.

The problem

Davis Express grappled with myriad challenges stemming from inadequate password management systems.

"I was always plagued with coworkers locking themselves out of our network. I would receive phone calls late in the evening or while I was spending time with my family."

Jason Hansen, IT administrator

With Davis Express' IT desk flooded with password reset calls, Hansen sought after a solution that would enable him to scale up and streamline the process. This necessity prompted Hansen to deploy ADSelfService Plus, ManageEngine's Active Directory (AD) password reset and identity security offering.

The solution

Dubbing ADSelfService Plus as an "ingenious solution," Hansen witnessed a visible reduction of after-hours support demands after deploying the solution. ADSelfService Plus' self-service password reset function empowered end users to resolve their own issues swiftly, and its intuitive functioning ensured that end users can perform critical actions without the need for an external intervention.

With password unlocks becoming decentralized, Davis Express also leverages the tool to enforce organizational password policies to its end users. When inquired about the technical support received during his nine-year journey of using ManageEngine's solutions.

"Through the years, we have been very pleased with ManageEngine's support team. Fortunately, we have not had to contact support except for maybe a few times. The products work and work well with our network. However, when we have had the need to contact support, we have never had to wait long for a response and solution to our issues."

Jason Hansen, IT administrator

With ADSelfService Plus playing a crucial role in improving the workflow of Davis Express' IT administration, this change was reflected in Hansen's satisfaction score: a perfect ten out of ten.

"I am very pleased with ADSelfService Plus because it has alleviated a lot of aggravation and stress on me since we implemented it. No longer do I receive a phone call interrupting me after hours for a user that needs to reset or unlock their account. This has been a huge burden lifted as I don't have to worry about something that my end users have messed up with. They can resolve their own mistake of forgetting their password or locking their account out."
