This release focused on performance, stabilizing the new architecture, folding in the latest
Provisioning capabilities, a strong push in settling and enhancing version
control, as well as several touchups and enhancements throughout. There is also a Version Control Best Practices document available.
IMPORTANT: Designer 3.0 milestone releases include advanced features such as Version Control. As you test these features, we are particularly interested in feedback on deployment cost savings, productivity increases, or other tangible business value that you see or anticipate from these features.

Recent Customer Quotes |
“Designer is the key to helping us successfully model,
deploy, document and maintain the Identity Management projects at
our customers sites. It allows us to use the power of Novell
Identity Manager in an easy way, without the need for base coding
and xslt-specialism, and to leverage customer's understanding for
complex IDM solutions. A topmost usability feature is the ability
to work on the project at a glance without needing to switch
between several IDM servers. The development team is open to
enhancements, resulting in rich Designer functionality for each
step in development, documentation and maintenance of our Identity
Management solutions. In summary, Designer is a professional tool
for delivering professional solutions to satisfied customers. ”

“I have been working with Novell's Identity Manager since v1.1,
and while the early versions were powerful, they were also very
time consuming and difficult to develop solutions with. Now, with
IDM v3.5 and Designer, the power of the IDM policy engine is exposed
and development simplified and made significantly faster and easier.
Designer allows me to accomplish in a day what used to take weeks
or months, from basic driver prototyping and development through
testing, production deployment, and documentation. ”
