Howard College Launches QuickLaunch IdentityX to Simplify Access & Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture

Miami, FL | December 17, 2025: Howard College, a leading community college serving thousands of students across its Big Spring, San Angelo, and Lamesa campuses, has officially gone live with QuickLaunch IdentityX, enabling Single Sign-On (SSO), Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication (AMFA), Self-Service Password Reset, and Self Service Account Claim for secure, frictionless access.

With this milestone deployment, Howard College users can log in to campus systems faster, recover passwords independently, and experience streamlined authentication without waiting for helpdesk support. Instead of managing access manually or relying on traditional password workflows, students, faculty, and staff now have a modern identity experience backed by adaptive security controls and automation.

IdentityX introduces a unified login portal with real-time analytics, reducing the need for IT intervention and lowering repetitive ticket volume. The platform improves access efficiency, protects against unauthorized account access, and supports seamless connectivity to core campus applications, including the Ellucian Banner ecosystem.

This deployment is powered by QuickLaunch IdentityX, designed to modernize identity operations, automate password services, enhance security posture, and improve the digital user experience across campus.

Highlights of the QuickLaunch IdentityX Deployment Include:

  • Modern Access Experience: Single Sign-On enables more than 50% faster access to campus applications with minimal login friction.
  • Adaptive MFA for Security: Risk-based authentication reduces account compromise attempts by up to 80% while minimizing unnecessary MFA prompts.
  • Self-Service Password Reset: Users recover access instantly, driving over 70% reduction in password-related helpdesk tickets.
  • Self Service Account Claim: Automated account activation cuts onboarding time by about 90% and eliminates temporary passwords.
  • Lower Support Workload: Tier-0/1 access and credential requests drop by up to 60%, freeing IT staff for higher-value work.
  • Stronger Compliance & Audits: Built-in analytics and reporting reduce audit preparation effort by 70% and improve policy adherence.
