Imanami Corporation, a leading provider of point solutions for identity management with a focus on advanced directory management for Microsoft Exchange Server and Active Directory®, today announced that it has partnered with Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) to provide Exchange Server customers with enhanced web-based group management functionality.
Microsoft will deliver Imanami's directory management software, WebDir, to select Exchange Server customers for enhanced and customized group management functionality through a web-based front-end. This partnership provides Exchange Server customers with a self-service portal, allowing IT departments to delegate group management to end users while maintaining the appropriate level of security and control over field management. This service-oriented operational model takes the burden and time consuming task of directory management away from Human Resources and IT departments greatly streamlining the processes. WebDir empowers end users to maintain their information and provides dynamic updating capability for distribution lists, which frees-up valuable IT resources to focus on higher impact activities.
"Microsoft's decision to provide WebDir to select Exchange Server customers proves the value of having a convenient and powerful group management solution," said Robert Haaverson, CEO of Imanami Corporation. "It will deliver unprecedented cost control and efficiency for all sized organizations."
"Imanami has been an excellent partner and WebDir provides valuable group management functionality that was not available before this partnership was established," said Victor Alcantara, Senior Director, Microsoft Corporation.
