Business challenges

  • Overwhelmed IT help desk: St. Bernards faced a formidable challenge with its small IT help desk grappling with an incessant stream of password reset requests, creating a bottleneck in operational efficiency.
  • Manual intervention: The absence of a robust self-service solution meant that the IT team was often bogged down in time-consuming manual interventions for resolving password-related issues.
  • Administrative usability concerns: Seeking an optimal solution, the IT team required a user-friendly administrative interface that could efficiently streamline processes.

The problem

St. Bernards Healthcare recognized the urgent need for an automated, hands-free approach to mitigating high-volume, redundant tasks, such as password resets.

"We have a relatively small IT help desk for the size of our organization. Our staff was tied up at any given time, resetting passwords for end users."

Joel Ganong, the IT administrator

After evaluating several solutions to solve the challenges related to IT productivity, St. Bernards Healthcare deployed ManageEngine ADSelfservice Plus within its environment.

The solution

With timely delivery of services proving to be critical for a healthcare delivery organization like St. Bernards, ADSelfService Plus emerged to be a positive catalyst in this aspect.

"Since implementing the solution, we've deflected over a hundred calls a month for password resets alone."

Joel Ganong, the IT administrator

ADSelfService Plus' entry marked a drastic reduction in manual interventions and has significantly liberated the organization's IT help desk to focus on more strategic initiatives. Likewise, ADSelfService Plus not only met but exceeded expectations in terms of usability.

"The overall user interface was really friendly to navigate. Once our team was acquainted with the system, carrying out administrative tasks became trivial."

Joel Ganong, the IT administrator

To enable a context-driven adoption of ADSelfService Plus, St. Bernards availed the custom onboarding services offered by ManageEngine, wherein the organization received a hands-on, expert-assisted installation of the solution in its IT environment. Joel expressed his satisfaction by remarking that ManageEngine's custom onboarding team "has been very responsive through the whole implementation process." He recounted that "anytime I've reached out or needed to talk to somebody, I got an answer almost immediately, which was very nice." Joel highly recommends the service to his peers.

The adoption of ADSelfService plus amongst employees proved to be a cakewalk for St. Bernards' employees, with Joel noting that the help documents have been useful in the process. With a high likelihood (9 out of 10) of recommending ADSelfService Plus, St. Bernards Healthcare's IT team expressed satisfaction with the product's features and pricing. Joel encapsulated the overall experience in one word: "Excellent."

"Quoting and exploring product features to the implementation and the actual usage of the product. Everybody that I've talked to at ManageEngine has...done an excellent job and has provided me with all the information that I needed in a timely manner, and the product works very well."
