Novell revolutionizes Identity Management to enhance security and compliance across the enterprise

Novell Identity Manager 3 delivers advanced visual modeling, workflow and self-service capabilities, giving companies flexible, yet powerful, new tools for meeting their security and compliance needs.

Novell recently won the "InfoWorld award" against major vendors in a most meticulous assessment. With new IDM 3, customers will be more pleased to use a simple process to control user access, protect sensitive data, reduce administrative costs, and comply with corporate and regulatory mandates.- said Gordon Ratcliffe - GM - Novell Middle East.

Manually provisioning user accounts is time consuming and expensive. Lack of automation results in inconsistently applied policy. A provisioning system introduces stronger audit ability and reduces security and compliance risks. With Identity Manager 3, Novell significantly enhances the product's workflow and approval routing features.

Meeting compliance needs

Compliance needs can now be met through automatic documentation of an entire project. Unlike other offering, IDM 3 does not need any manual coding and configuration. Customers can now use IDM 3 to visually model implementations and easily re-configure to reduce deployment times and test " what if" scenario's before deployment. Novell's IDM 3 is the only solution to offer an intuitive, visual framework for mapping complex identity management infrastructures.

Improving security

Novell Identity Manager 3 makes it easier than ever before for users to interface with critical corporate identity management processes.The new add-on Provisioning Module for Novell Identity Manager 3 delivers advanced workflow capabilities to help customers streamline user administration by automating approval requests and designating role, group or individual assignments that help define approval processes. "With Novell Identity Manager, users can quickly create and adapt new, complex approval workflows without compromising on security." Gordon (GM - Novell Middle East) added.

Banks in the Middle East region have shown increasing interests in Identity Management. For those who needed easy mapping, visual framework and automatic documentation, without compromising on security, Novell's IDM 3 should be the ultimate choice.
