Job Scheduling, ECMAScript Integration, Mapping Tables, Resource Libraries,
many new actions, conditions, tokens, and verbs for Policy Buider, and

“Designer for Novell's Identity Manager has benefited the adoption of identity
based solutions in several ways. It has streamlined the adoption of identity based solutions
by simplifying solution customization. It has reduced our cost of designing and deploying
Identity Manager by about 30%. It has made it easier for customers to manage and maintain a
solution after it has been implemented. And it has made Novell Identity Manager the industry
choice of both Novell and non-Novell customers for identity management initiatives. We applaud
Novell for evolving Identity Manager in such a way that it has created a win/win situation for
both customers and consulting organizations.”

“From a consulting aspect, Designer has literally changed the way we work.
Our consultants can now take their work on the road and develop drivers while disconnected
(such as on an airplane). The ability to work anywhere has increased our efficiency ten-fold!
For our customers, Designer has helped ease the burden of learning to develop business rules
with Identity Manager. The interface is intuitive and the on-line help is a tremendous source
of reference. Other benefits such as inline testing, documentation generation, workflow design,
and more, make Designer the obvious development platform for Identity Manager and helps solidify
Novell's Identity Manager as a market leader for identity management solutions.”

“Designer for Identity Manager has greatly accelerated our deployments within our Identity Management Ecosystem.
Without much prior knowledge or the help of more expensive consultants Designer for Identity Manager made it possible for our internal
organization to design and deploy complex connections to other systems. Designer's method of click-and-run connectors is far more efficient
and effective then comparable solutions or even earlier versions of IDM/DirXML.” (August 30, 2006)
