Johnathan Purvis, IT Manager of Kefron and Guido Marchetti discuss the identity and access management project carried out in March 2020.
Kefron saves money, improves security, removes unnecessary products and creates a better user experience through Microsoft 365 Security
Kefron is a leading document management specialist – handling both physical and digital hosted documents for many private and public sector bodies.
Kefron had a security challenge as a result of a fragmented security strategy. They had a number of different solutions in place doing similar things meaning the IT team was spending significant time managing multiple applications. Their core problem was based in Unified Identity and Device Management across their mobile estate.
CWSI demonstrated through a review process that many of the tools Kefron was investing in were already in place within their Microsoft license bundle. A roadmap was created to create a more seamless identity management platform and also a device management platform. This was achieved through the Microsoft 365 Business Skew to also introduce a cost-saving by removing the need for other superfluous third-party security solutions.
Kefron extended its footprint into the Microsoft 365 world. CWSI helped Kefron move its identity into the cloud, meaning deployment of new devices, endpoint security, and sign-on have all been migrated to one single pane of glass.
As now-defunct encryption, spam, and other security technologies were removed the process for IT in managing their end-points became much simpler as well as cheaper for the business.
CWSI assisted Kefron with migrating all users across to Intune. There was a trial period of two weeks to configure and test and then all users were rolled out with only a single user issue appearing. This work was all carried out remotely during the Covid-19 lockdown of March 2020.
We now get to have one place to go to manage everything, and the part that everyone loves – we actually get to save money.
In the past we had a number of solutions in place, and that was part of the problem – a number of solutoins in place for managing our apps and mobile devices. What CWSI presented to us was that we were already an office 365 customer, we had taken the big step in investing in this software so the tools were already in place to do these things, a series of smaller projects could get us more secure and remove unnecessary software from our organisation.
