Today's announcement reflects the success of this strategy, adding to Novell's directory lead. Beginning today and based on NDS, Novell will deliver Synchronicity for Notes, Exchange, NT and NetWare through its wide distribution channels. This increases customer choice and positions Novell as the central source for a comprehensive range of directory solutions. Cost of administrative resources is reduced as companies can consolidate user data in a single directory repository and manage the information through a single point of administration. Increases productivity by reducing common end-user support issues.
Businesses today depend on a variety of applications from a multitude of vendors.
Each of these applications may have its own, separate directory that network professionals are charged with keeping in synch. The Synchronicity product line will allow companies to automatically manage changes and updates to the various directories contained in their network environment. Each of the products in the Synchronicity family will make managing network data more efficient by minimizing the manual updates and redundant tasks network administrators currently endure. By synchronizing the disparate directories in a network, updates will only need to be made once and end-users will only require one login password for the network and all operating systems and applications. Based on NDS, Synchronicity saves network administrators countless man hours through directory synchronization.
