Professional Services Company
Boosts Security, Facilitates Compliance,
Automates User Management
Executive Summary
INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION
This professional services company
specializes in helping its clients
expand and invest seamlessly across
international borders by combining
global reach with deep local knowledge.
BUSINESS SITUATION
The company relied on local IT managers
to onboard new users and deactivate
unused accounts. Manual processes
were slow and inefficient, and a lack of
standardization hindered security and
compliance.
THE NETIQ DIFFERENCE
NetIQ® Identity Manager centralized
user management and automated
provisioning, accelerating onboarding
from five days to two minutes. The
solution is projected to deliver full return
on investment (ROI) within 30 months.
NETIQ PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
NetIQ® Identity Manager
NetIQ Sentinel™
As a professional services
company that helps clients expand
internationally, this organization
maintains a staff of accountants,
legal, financial, corporate secretarial,
human resources (HR) and payroll
professionals in over 70 countries.
To meet local and international audit
requirements and protect its reputation,
the company makes IT security one
of its top priorities. To ensure the
best approach to security across
its global operations, the company
undertook an audit and identified
opportunities for improvement in
its IT systems and processes.
One finding from the audit was that
the company should standardize its
existing user management processes.
Instead of relying on local managers
to create, manage and deactivate user
profiles as people joined or left the
organization, the company wanted
to create a centralized, automated,
unified process that would reduce
the risk of unauthorized users
gaining access to its systems.
The Solution
The company worked with Happiest
Minds, a global IT services provider,
to assess a new user management
solution and assist with the evaluation
and selection of software.
The company and Happiest Minds began
by reviewing existing user management
processes from different perspectives,
including compliance: They identified
gaps and designed a new unified process.
To support these processes, the company
needed to find a solution that could
integrate with multiple HR systems and
provide centralized identity management.
Although cloud-based identity
management systems were an option,
the company decided it wanted an
on-premises solution which Happiest
Minds would maintain as a managed
service. Thus, the team began evaluating
solutions from several vendors,
including Microsoft and NetIQ.
“In terms of meeting our compliance
requirements, increasing the ease of
administration and integrating well with

Enhancing Security, Delivering
Rapid ROI
When a user leaves the company,
NetIQ Identity Manager automatically
revokes access to all systems, which
ensures a higher level of security.
Meanwhile, NetIQ Sentinel provides
intuitive graphical dashboards that
simplify audits, replacing manual
spreadsheet-based processes that
used to occupy a 20-person team
for up to three weeks per year.
Together, the NetIQ solutions help the
professional services company comply
with ISO 27001 IT security standards—a
major pillar in the company’s reputation.
By streamlining user management
and compliance reporting processes,
the company’s new solution will
reduce operational costs and is
expected to provide a full return on
investment within 30 months.
Learn more today by contacting
your NetIQ partner or a local NetIQ
sales representative, or by visiting
www.netiq.com for contact
information in your area.
To simplify integration, Happiest
Minds set up an intermediate database
between NetIQ Identity Manager
and several HR systems, using Java
Database Connectivity (JDBC) to
exchange data between them.
With the technical solution in place,
the team began developing the
new business processes that would
govern user management and
implementing new capabilities such
as password synchronization and a
self-service password reset portal.
Streamlining and Automating
Processes
NetIQ Identity Manager gives the
professional services company a single,
central point of control for identity
management that standardizes and
automates all the processes related
to employees, contractors, vendors
or other people that can access the
corporate network and systems.
When a new employee joins, a manager
can now set up an account for them on
all the appropriate systems within a few
minutes—a process that took up to five
days before. Approval workflows enable
managers to approve or deny access
requests with just a few mouse clicks.
our existing landscape, the NetIQ
solutions were the best fit with
our business,”said a company
spokesperson.“We quickly realized
that NetIQ® Identity Manager could
dramatically enhance our user
provisioning and single sign-on (SSO)
capabilities, while NetIQ Sentinel™
would help us monitor compliance
and security across our IT landscape.”
Happiest Minds helped implement
the NetIQ solutions and connect
them with existing systems such
as Microsoft Active Directory,
which the company uses as
its main user directory.

Professional Services Company Boosts Security, Facilitates Compliance, Automates User Management

  • 1. S U C C E S S S T O R Y Professional Services Company Boosts Security, Facilitates Compliance, Automates User Management Executive Summary INDUSTRY DESCRIPTION This professional services company specializes in helping its clients expand and invest seamlessly across international borders by combining global reach with deep local knowledge. BUSINESS SITUATION The company relied on local IT managers to onboard new users and deactivate unused accounts. Manual processes were slow and inefficient, and a lack of standardization hindered security and compliance. THE NETIQ DIFFERENCE NetIQ® Identity Manager centralized user management and automated provisioning, accelerating onboarding from five days to two minutes. The solution is projected to deliver full return on investment (ROI) within 30 months. NETIQ PRODUCTS AND SERVICES NetIQ® Identity Manager NetIQ Sentinel™ As a professional services company that helps clients expand internationally, this organization maintains a staff of accountants, legal, financial, corporate secretarial, human resources (HR) and payroll professionals in over 70 countries.

The Solution The company worked with Happiest Minds, a global IT services provider, to assess a new user management solution and assist with the evaluation and selection of software. The company and Happiest Minds began by reviewing existing user management processes from different perspectives, including compliance: They identified gaps and designed a new unified process. To support these processes, the company needed to find a solution that could integrate with multiple HR systems and provide centralized identity management. Although cloud-based identity management systems were an option, the company decided it wanted an on-premises solution which Happiest Minds would maintain as a managed service.

Meanwhile, NetIQ Sentinel provides intuitive graphical dashboards that simplify audits, replacing manual spreadsheet-based processes that used to occupy a 20-person team for up to three weeks per year. Together, the NetIQ solutions help the professional services company comply with ISO 27001 IT security standards—a major pillar in the company’s reputation. By streamlining user management and compliance reporting processes, the company’s new solution will reduce operational costs and is expected to provide a full return on investment within 30 months. Learn more today by contacting your NetIQ partner or a local NetIQ sales representative, or by visiting www.netiq.com for contact information in your area. To simplify integration, Happiest Minds set up an intermediate database between NetIQ Identity Manager and several HR systems, using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to exchange data between them. With the technical solution in place, the team began developing the new business processes that would govern user management and implementing new capabilities such as password synchronization and a self-service password reset portal. Streamlining and Automating Processes NetIQ Identity Manager gives the professional services company a single, central point of control for identity management that standardizes and automates all the processes related to employees, contractors, vendors or other people that can access the corporate network and systems. When a new employee joins, a manager can now set up an account for them on all the appropriate systems within a few minutes—a process that took up to five days before. Approval workflows enable managers to approve or deny access requests with just a few mouse clicks. our existing landscape, the NetIQ solutions were the best fit with our business,”said a company spokesperson.“We quickly realized that NetIQ® Identity Manager could dramatically enhance our user provisioning and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, while NetIQ Sentinel™ would help us monitor compliance and security across our IT landscape.” Happiest Minds helped implement the NetIQ solutions and connect them with existing systems such as Microsoft Active Directory, which the company uses as its main user directory.
