Case Study: Boston University achieves enhanced network visibility and reporting with Visual Click Software

Boston University Systems Support Enhances Visibility of Network Assets, Reporting Capabilities Using Visual Click

Boston University’s Systems Support team needed better visibility into network access and usage, stronger reporting, and a smoother migration from Novell eDirectory/NetWare to Microsoft Active Directory. Using Visual Click Software’s DSRAZOR for eDirectory, DSMETER for NetWare, and DSRAZOR for Windows, the team sought a cost-effective way to improve management information and support both the temporary legacy environment and the new AD environment.

Visual Click Software delivered an easy implementation and tools that let Boston University generate reports quickly and act on them directly. The result was a “bird’s-eye view” of the network, improved reporting on logons, logouts, and file/folder usage, better planning for staffing and infrastructure, and automated tasks like disabling inactive accounts. The team also reported significantly less manual work and greater confidence in the status of accounts and servers.
