“The number of IT tickets have gone down greatly as ourstaff members are now resetting passwords or unlocking accounts themselves, rather than logging IT tickets.”
- Neil Attridge, IT operation manager, Qual IT
Unfortunately, Qual IT faced daily issues with users unable to log on to their systems due to forgotten passwords or locked accounts. The company works on challenging IT projects across diverse industries and has to deliver tailormade testing and assurance solutions to its clients. As a fast growing company, the number of projects keep increasing. While the workforce is driven to complete all projects within the required timeframes, they kept getting tripped up. Being unable to log on to their systems took a toll on their productivity.
Password reset and account unlock tickets were also wasting the IT support staff's valuable time. Further, Qual IT has several users who log on remotely every day and they needed a mechanism to ensure these users don't face password-related blocks. The company had a lot of trouble resolving these issues without interrupting their work flow.
