According to a Gartner survey, 20-50 percent of calls to the help desk are for password resets. Forrester research calculates that it costs $70 on average for the help desk to reset a single password.
On top of this, it takes 30 minutes on average to provision a user account and almost nine days for a user account to be deprovisioned completely, including removing permissions on all servers and removing the user from all groups after all the verification and necessary approvals are obtained.
Put simply, all these responsibilities combined not only rack up quite a price tag, but they're time consuming in the long run for any enterprise.
Imagine if all these tickets can be resolved right from your help desk console in a few clicks. That's exactly what the ADManager Plus plug-in does. It can empower help desk technicians to manage Active Directory (AD) from within their ServiceDesk Plus Cloud console without having to struggle with tools like the ADUC or PowerShell every time a ticket is raised for an identity and access management task.
