Major Challenges Faced by Higher Education
As technology is ever evolving, delivering an optimal user (student, staff and faculty) experience is top requirement for IT Directors and CIOs at higher education institutions. Still, most of the institutions struggle to maintain pace with evolving technology and this disrupts the overall user experience.
Even after finding the right identity and access management solution, most of the higher ed institutions struggle with quick migrations, automation of processes and many other challenges such as:
- Managing multiple digital identities across the institution is a headache.
- Catering to multiple password reset requests is a huge productivity drain that adds up to the total operational costs.
- It requires a complex sophisticated IAM tool to manage users with multiple roles and access levels.
- Most of the institutions have limited manpower and budget to invest in emerging technology.
- Manual or powershell scripts are common across the higher ed for user provisioning that may not be an ideal solution in long run.
Solutions to Meet Modern-Day Identity Challenges
Single Sign-On
Empower users to access multiple applications from a unified platform using a single set of credentials. IT Admins can choose among 3000+ applications and can easily add, delete or configure any application with just few clicks.
Smart Password Manager with MFA
Reduce password reset costs and help desk call volumes by allowing users (students, staff and faculty) to reset lost / forgotten passwords on their own using smart factors (SMS, Email, Security Questions, Google Authenticator and YubiKey), without the intervention of IT help desk.
Automated Provisioning
Provision users on the fly and deprovision them even faster when they leave the institution. IT administrators can centrally manage user accesses and permissions and make changes in real-time. Reduce security-risks associated to user management across the institution.
Adaptive Authentication
Detect high risk logins based on deviations in user behavior (location, network, browser, IP address device etc.) and trigger MFA to verify end user identity, preventing false access to your system(s).
User Self-Registration
Eliminate the practice of sending default passwords via email or physical letters and streamline onboarding process for first time users. They can create their password and setup the security profile when they login to the system for the first time.
Mobile
Provide a unified experience to users by letting them access all their applications on mobile using single credentials. Send push notifications to users displaying custom alerts, password expiry notifications, latest announcements and more. Strengthen security with Face ID/ Touch ID.
QuickLaunch Highlights
Higher ed institutions face unique identity and access management (IAM) challenges that most homegrown and legacy IAM systems can’t handle. If you are looking to automate identity-related tasks, improve end user experience, reduce operational costs, enhance institutional security or keep up with compliance requirements, our truly self-serviceable IAM is crafted for you.
Cloud-Based Software
As the IT landscape is shifting towards the cloud, QuickLaunch is helping higher ed institutions to manage user identities and accesses to their IT resources from the cloud. This not only eases the manageability and reduce operational costs, but also provides a centralized scalable infrastructure while improving institutional security.
Zero Consulting Fees
Big SIS implementations can get frustrating for IT teams as these are complex and require a great consulting team capable of handling multi-dimensional projects in strict time constraints. Moreover, if you hire remote resources, you are charged heavily. QuickLaunch doesn’t charge you a single penny for any consultation you require on such implementations.
