Case Study: Robert Weed Corporation achieves 90% faster password management and stronger privileged access security with Delinea Secret Server

Robert Weed slashes password management time by 90% and builds confidence with Delinea PAM

Robert Weed Corporation, a family‑owned wholesale distributor and manufacturer founded in 1966, faced insecure, scattered privileged credentials stored across Excel, Word and Teams and a PAM tool that lacked key features (notably Active Directory–based authentication for Linux). The resulting manual management of thousands of local accounts across many servers made access recovery slow and risky—especially with frequent third‑party vendor access—and left the team spending excessive time investigating access issues.

After benchmarking vendors, Robert Weed implemented Delinea Secret Server as a centralized PAM solution. Secret Server brought AD‑based authentication, credential rotation, heartbeat verification and stronger process controls, becoming the single vault for nearly 200 systems. Within six months the team cut password‑management effort to about 10% of what it had been (roughly a 90% reduction), improved confidence and compliance, and set the stage to onboard third‑party providers with managed check‑in/check‑out and automated rotation.
