eDirectory to Microsoft AD Migration Planning and Consulting Services for Washington State School District

Q2 2021

A Washington state public school district has foundational services integrated into their Identity and Access Management systems, based upon Novell/MicroFocus’ NetIQ eDirectory platform. In addition to all access control policies managed through eDirectory LDAP services, the district also leverages the full complement of bundled services included with the NetIQ Identity and Access Management suite. As NetIQ’s eDirectory market share continues to fall, the district needed to evaluate the institutional impact of different IT portfolio investment strategies, and decide whether to purchase a different solution with a phased deployment or retain and extend their existing solution. Data Networks delivered consulting services to provide estimates of the impact of retaining the existing NetIQ suite of products. Data Networks also provided comparative data on the impact of migrating to Microsoft Active Directory services with an estimated business case proposal for migrating to the AD solution, as well as a project budget plan, implementation plan, timetables, and feature/functionality comparative data.
