Case Study: Cumberland County Schools achieves faster group membership searches with Web Active Directory PeopleSearch

How Cumberland County Schools use of PeopleSearch, a part of PeoplePlatform, for efficient group management

Cumberland County Schools, a North Carolina school district, needed a faster way for select end users to search for Active Directory group membership information. Their internally developed process required several stages and took too long to find the data employees needed. Web Active Directory’s PeopleSearch, part of its PeoplePlatform for Group Management, was used to address this challenge.

Web Active Directory implemented a web-based PeopleSearch solution that streamlined the process into a single search step, with IT controlling which group membership data users could see based on their rights. The result was a major time savings, cutting each search from several minutes to just a few seconds, and saving thousands of dollars in employee efficiency over a school year. Cumberland County Schools also reported that Web Active Directory’s support was responsive and helpful.
