A financial institution of its kind HomeBanc adopts every effort to safeguard the financial information of users. Managing user access to these data happens to be a crucial task. If not handled well, access by an unexpected intruder could be quite disastrous to the bank's integrity and reputation. HomeBanc incorporated an Active Directory based authentication mechanism to bypass such security breaches. But the high volume of support requests relating to locked out accounts and outdated passwords gave a new dimension to the earlier problem.
"Cost/Time of support for tasks such as lockouts and password resets was ridiculous considering the ease of correcting.", said Rob Buck, CIO, HomeBanc N.A.
HomeBanc eventually decided to adopt a pre-existing solution, that would cut down the support requests, without a need to compromise with the security.
HomeBanc had identified a flaw in their mechanism and badly needed a solution that could rectify this. In their search for a suitable solution, the bank identified ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus to be a software that catered appropriate solutions to all their problems. All the employees of the bank were asked to enroll into the Self-Service application. The employees found it quite easy to reset their own passwords and unlock their accounts as and when the need arose; thereby avoiding intervention by any support staff. All this resulted in no wastage of time and effort for bank's employees.
The web based intuitive User Interface of ADSelfService Plus, offered both efficiency as well as flexibility to the users.

This was achieved through the Security Question & Answer module that kept a check on intruder interference. Apart from satisfying the immediate requirements of the bank, ADSelfService Plus also held a variety of useful attributes that made it as an obvious choice for HomeBanc.
"ADSelfService Plus gave us a Client based service and also supported options to integrate possible solutions that we may need in the future.", explained Rob Buck of HomeBanc N.A.
Not only this, the ability to customize the product based on the requirements of the organization say like the capacity to incorporate the organization's logo, gave it a definite edge amongst other software of its kind in the market.
