Challenges

  • Increasing management costs

  • Overly complex Active Directory infrastructure

  • Smooth transition of users between offices is cumbersome

Solution

Benefits

Consolidated Active Directory infrastructure has:

  • Reduced complexity of the infrastructure

  • Fast tracked domain consolidation

  • Re-useable migration and co-existence strategy to enable each domain to be collapsed in turn

  • Reduced administration costs

  • New delegation model
