ADManager Plus helps North 40 Outfitters to streamline AD management and integrates with LMS

Business challenges

• Difficulty creating a webhook to add a user to their LMS.
• Macros not transferring values from templates, hindering automation of user management.
• Inconsistent methods for controlling Active Directories, leading to errors and inefficiencies.

The Problem

North 40 Outfitters faced several challenges in managing its Active Directory, including difficulty with creating a webhook to add a user to its learning management system (LMS). The macros used to automate user management did not transfer the data from the template, making it challenging to add new users to the LMS, resulting in delays and increased workload for the IT team. The existing method was also prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to incorrect data and inefficiencies in user management.

Moreover, North 40 Outfitters had inconsistent methods for controlling its Active Directory resulting in the IT team spending a considerable amount of time manually managing user accounts, groups, and permissions, leading again to delays and errors. North 40 Outfitters needed a solution that would automate user management, integrate with its LMS and UKG, a third-party, cloud-based human capital management software, and standardize its methods for controlling Active Directory.

The Solution

To address the challenges North 40 Outfitters faced in managing its Active Directory, the company implemented ADManager Plus. It provided a powerful solution to these challenges by automating user management and integrating with UKG, its HRMS solution. With this integration, UKG was configured to be the single source of truth for end-user details. This resulted in faster onboarding and reduced workload for the IT team.

ADManager Plus also helped North 40 Outfitters by providing a centralized console that enabled the IT team to manage user accounts, groups, and permissions consistently and efficiently. This helped to eliminate errors and inconsistencies and resulted in standardized data and reports.

Furthermore, ADManager Plus provided North 40 Outfitters with comprehensive reporting capabilities, enabling its IT team to track user activity, generate audit reports, and monitor security events in real time. It provided pre-built reports that allowed them to easily track and manage Active Directory events, users, groups, and resources.

Overall, ADManager Plus provided North 40 Outfitters with a complete solution for managing its Active Directory, automating user management, integrating with its LMS and UKG, and standardizing its methods for controlling Active Directory. With ADManager Plus, North 40 Outfitters was able to save time, reduce errors, and improve the efficiency of its IT team.
