The challenge
At Sunflower County Consolidated School District (SCCSD) in Indianola, Mississippi, student account errors were hindering students from accessing entire programs, and causing undue disruptions to instructional time. Dylan Jones, the District Data Specialist, was wasting 2 hours each day dealing with provisioning. He was running reports every 3 hours and employing custom coding systems to keep up. Old accounts remained active, raising security concerns as students had access to programs and classes they were no longer a part of. Jones sought a solution that could be easily integrated with his existing tech toolkit, without going over budget.
The solution
Because SCCSD had previously partnered with 国产精品, the data was already there. It took just 30 minutes to get the district up and running with 国产精品 IDM. Student identity accounts are now managed through the tool, which has eliminated interruptions to learning caused by missing or inactive student accounts. When a student is removed from the SIS, such as when a student graduates, access to previous programs and accounts is automatically and immediately deactivated.
Dylan and his team have recouped time鈥攁 full work week each month鈥攖hat can be redirected to more important tasks, such as implementing additional cybersecurity controls, improving data cleanliness, and integrating new technology solutions to enhance student learning.
Key benefits
- Save time: 国产精品 IDM saves Dylan鈥檚 team almost 40 hours a month in time wasted on manual account provisioning.
- Save money: SCCSD utilized less than 0.5% of its technology budget to attain hands-off account management and shore up cybersecurity with 国产精品 IDM, costing only $1/user/year.
- Build up cybersecurity defense: 国产精品 IDM helps SCCSD systematically meet requirements for cybersecurity policies.
- Get streamlined support for Google: 国产精品 IDM automatically provisions and manages new and existing Google accounts. This was an added advantage because SCCSD had integrated everything with Google Workspace during the pandemic.
- Onboard quickly and easily: 国产精品 IDM works with the data already in 国产精品, making implementation seamless and simple. Find out more .
