| Source: Ensim Corporation
SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - January 15, 2008) - Ensim Corporation, the leading provider of
management software for unified communications infrastructure, today
announced the immediate availability of Unify Enterprise Edition, Version
1.5. With this upgrade, Ensim Unify brings new functionality to enterprises
looking to optimize their IT infrastructure, increase the security and
control of Exchange deployments and enable a mobile workforce.
Ensim Unify Enterprise Edition is a comprehensive system-management
software solution that allows enterprises to easily automate provisioning
and change requests within their unified communications infrastructure.
Available for Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange and mobility
applications, Unify helps organizations significantly reduce operational
costs while increasing IT and employee productivity. Its template-driven
management interface enables IT to automate both simple and complex tasks,
as well as offer delegated administration to employees.
"Deploying Ensim Unify has allowed my team to automate most of our change
management requests, which has driven down our operational costs," said
Davis Truong, senior systems engineer at CashEdge, a leading online
financial institution provider and Deloitte Technology 500. "Furthermore,
we are able to increase employee productivity by giving them basic
administration rights for tasks such as password reset and distribution
list management."
Key features of the 1.5 release include:
Quick Start Wizard for Administrators
Ensim Unify Enterprise now offers a quick-start, step-by-step wizard
designed to help system administrators perform post-installation
configuration tasks to ensure full functionality is available to
administrators.
Enhanced User Management
With the latest version, system administrators can select default groups
for a user when creating the user account, lock down user templates, manage
user attributes (such as home directory path, home drive letter, profile
path, and logon script path), move user accounts from one OU location to
another, list a user's group memberships, check availability of a requested
user name, and customize the list of user attributes being managed by
Unify.
Improved OU Management
Ensim Unify now provides a simplified OU management. The OU structure in
Active Directory and any updates to the OU hierarchy are automatically
synchronized with Unify. Additionally, administrators can now select the OU
location during the provisioning process when creating users, groups or
contacts.
Simplified Role Customizations
Using Unify's simplified web-based UI, system administrators can customize
and manage administrative rights according to each admin role in just a few
simple clicks.
More Configuration Options
System administrators can configure Unify according to their internal
business policies. Once configured, Unify will automatically apply these
policies for each defined business process, including user account, user
termination and permanent termination settings, group membership, archiving
user account, and archiving user home folder and data.
New Web Services API
The new version of Unify Enterprise features an improved web services API
for seamless integration with an enterprise's existing systems.
"Enterprises that align their IT strategies with their business needs are
better positioned for competitive growth and differentiation," said
Francois Depayras, vice president of marketing and alliances at Ensim
Corporation. "The latest version of our Unify Enterprise Edition provides
enterprises with a powerful solution that allows them to quickly deploy and
run an extensible platform that addresses all of their provisioning,
automation and IT infrastructure needs at a more predictable cost than they
could deliver themselves."
