Business challenges

Being a government organization, Maldon District Council's support staff is always occupied with critical tasks—at times, so occupied that council members have to wait some time for their accounts to be unlocked. The support team also has to maintain Active Directory (AD) data for end users, but manually updating all these details was becoming too much to handle.

"We faced account lockouts that needed a password reset when the support desk was not manned. The IT team also had to maintain Active Directory fields for the end users."

Simon Mitchell, IT team leader at Maldon District Council

The outcome

"The deployment was simple and cost-effective. The technical support provided by the support team was also very helpful."

Simon Mitchell, IT team leader at Maldon District Council

To lighten the burden on the support team's shoulders, Mitchell and his team decided to implement a password self-service solution to give end users the capability to easily perform certain tasks like unlocking their accounts or maintaining AD data. After shopping around for a suitable option, Mitchell's team ultimately decided to go with ADSelfService Plus. According to Mitchell, ADSelfService Plus' "functionality and cost-effectiveness" made up his mind.

"Our IT team is now free to work on more productive issues, and users are able to continue working at times that were previously unsupported."

Simon Mitchell, IT team leader at Maldon District Council

"ADSelfService Plus works great for unlocking accounts and resetting passwords."
