Case Study: dunnhumby achieves single sign-on and saves 50 hours a week with Quest Authentication Services

Marketing Consultancy Achieves Single Sign-On And Saves 50 Hours A Week

Dunnhumby, an international marketing consultancy, faced a challenge managing its mixed IT environment. With business-critical Unix/Linux applications running alongside a Windows infrastructure, users had multiple passwords and IT struggled with account management. To achieve single sign-on and centralize authentication, dunnhumby turned to vendor Quest and its product, One Identity Authentication Services.

Quest's solution extended the security of dunnhumby's existing Active Directory to its Unix and Linux platforms without requiring schema extensions. This implementation provided true single sign-on for users and centralized account management. The results were significant, saving the IT team over 50 hours of administrative work per week and delivering an expected full return on investment within one year.
