Marywood University Implements Tools4ever’s UMRA for Automated Account Provisioning
Lynbrook, NY (PRWEB) January 28, 2015 -- Tools4ever, the market leader in Identity and Access Management (IdM/IAM) solutions, announced today that Marywood University implemented Tools4ver’s User Management Resource Administrator (UMRA). Located in Scranton, Pennsylvania with over 3,200 Undergraduate and Graduate students and several hundred staff, professors and other employees working at the university, the school needed an efficient way to provision accounts. Before UMRA, “It was an extremely time consuming, labor intensive challenge to provision portal accounts and corresponding Gmail addresses,” said Anthony Spinillo, Chief Information Officer at Marywood University.
With UMRA, the account management process at Marywood University is now fully automated so that no manual action needs to be taken. Once a student’s information is added into the Ellucian student information system, all appropriate accounts are automatically provisioned, a Gmail account created and a password for their portal is generated.
Spinillo added, “Our helpdesk would field dozens of calls per day because of long turnaround time on provisioning, but with UMRA, these calls dried up. Helpdesk staff now has much more time to help students and faculty with instructional technology issues.”
Marywood University also plans to implement Tools4evers Self Service Reset Password Manager in the near future. SSRPM will allow students and staff to easily and securely reset their own passwords without needing to contact the helpdesk. This will free up even more time for helpdesk employees and allow for students to be more productive.
