Hitachi ID Password Manager cost savings
Effective password management, using Hitachi ID Password Manager (formerly P-Synch), can save costs and recover productivity for users and help desks:
Users
- Password synchronization helps users remember their passwords. This eliminates problems before they start.
- Users can resolve problems themselves with a self-service password reset facility, rather than wait for service.
- Users who still call the help desk get efficient problem resolution, and do not wait for call escalation.
The Help Desk: the 50-50-50 rule
- If password synchronization eliminates just 50% of password problems,
- self-service password reset gets just a 50% adoption rate and
- streamlined assisted password reset reduces problem resolution time by just 50%,
- then the help desk's total time spent resolving password problems will be reduced by at least 87%.
System Administrators
- Effective password management allows front-line support staff to resolve all incoming password problems. Escalation to system administrators is simply eliminated.
