Business Challenge:
Because of their mixed environment, they had to create users in both e-directory and Active Directory, taking up time and being a complex process.

Solution:
Novell Identity Manager which linked e-directory and Active Directory and synchronised users details and passwords between the two systems.

Benefits:
Made life easier for the entire IT team and reduced the error ratio as they now have one central user database to create, delete & reset passwords. Additionally providing one point to maintain and manage users information across two separate platforms.
