Trade Association Enhances Security, Cuts Credential Management Work by 75 Percent

Check out the new Case Study for The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) on Microsoft's Web Site. There are significant business metrics to validate the benefits of an Identity and Access Management project, with a focus on operational efficiency and compliance readiness.

One quote:

"Our user lifecycle management processes were driven by a series of human interfaces and processes, electronic messages and forms, and custom scripting," Condello explains. "These processes were well understood but injected a significant number of 'touch points' for Human Resources administrators and security personnel. We wanted to automate many of our credential management chores and standardize the scripting elements into a common server/services interface. This would free up staff time to strengthen our enterprise security infrastructure."
