Ensim Corporation, the leading provider of user provisioning and access control software, today announced that CashEdge, an innovator in enabling financial transactions for institutions such as Bank of America, Citibank, and Wachovia, has deployed Ensim Unify Enterprise Edition to secure and automate the management of its Active Directory (AD) servers.
CashEdge, one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States, selected Ensim Unify for its ease of installation and for its modular design. Unify streamlines the day-to-day provisioning, configuring, and management of CashEdge's more than 400 employees, who are located throughout multiple offices worldwide. Additionally, it alleviates the ongoing security challenges that have developed from the company's rapid growth, including user provisioning and de-provisioning, password reset requests and Active Directory maintenance processes. Unify's AD and Password Managers enable its IT to easily automate provisioning and access control, while allowing employees to self manage basic tasks.
"We are pleased to expand our enterprise customer base," said Francois Depayras, vice president of marketing and alliances at Ensim. "By using Unify, CashEdge will meet the increasing demands associated with rapid growth and will reap significant business benefits while gaining a competitive edge in the market."
Ensim Unify can be installed in less than one hour and delivers instant savings by reducing the number of help desk calls by as much as forty percent. It also eliminates repetitive administrative tasks, helping improve workforce effectiveness and enabling IT departments in medium and large-sized organizations to focus on more strategic tasks.
"Ensim Unify allowed us to immediately reduce the amount of time spent on basic Active Directory management by forty percent," said Davis Truong, CashEdge's senior systems engineer. "By giving access to Ensim Unify's web portal, we can enable users to change their passwords and manage their own distribution lists without having to rely on IT, giving our department the ability to focus on mission-critical projects."
Ensim Unify is available as a full suite of modules or as individual snap-in tools, which can be added or removed as needed. The complete suite includes the following modules:
- Microsoft Active Directory Manager: provides control over AD and the ability to easily administer complex tasks.
- Microsoft Exchange Manager: helps prevent mis-configuration of Exchange server, increases uptime and automates key tasks.
- Mobile Manager: allows for Over-The-Air (OTA) configuration and wipe of smart phones.
