Case Study: University of Wisconsin streamlines Group Policy management with Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager

University of Wisconsin Consolidates Legacy GPOs and Manages Policies from the Cloud

University of Wisconsin needed a better way to manage policies for its growing Department of Orthopedics & Rehabilitation and Department of Urology, where 350 users and 400+ devices made Group Policy administration increasingly complex and risky for security. The IT team also had to support very different needs across physicians, faculty, researchers, and staff, and was looking for a more flexible approach. Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud Edition was the product used.

Netwrix implemented Endpoint Policy Manager Cloud Edition to centralize and simplify policy management for Group Policy, browsers, and Microsoft Office, while allowing granular, role-based customization without scripting. The result was streamlined Group Policy management, improved user experience, and reduced IT overhead, along with a stable cloud deployment that stays up to date automatically.
