PROVO, Utah — Jan. 5, 2001 — Novell eDirectory (www.novell.com/products/edirectory) is powering eBusiness for companies across diverse industries including Lucent Technology, Chicago Mercantile Exchange and United Airlines. As a stand-alone, cross-platform LDAP directory, it is allowing these companies to manage all aspects of customer, partner, supplier, and employee identities and relationships. eDirectory was chosen over competitive offerings because it helps lower cost and simplifies the complexity of managing and maintaining a mixed platform environment - which is standard for most companies. Since deploying eDirectory these companies have benefited from a more efficient IT staff and consistent and improved network services to their end-users.
"We service the largest networks in the world. When you look at these customers, they all have NetWare, NT, Unix, etc," said Karen Mashima, Vice President of Enterprise Strategy and Chief Technology Officer, Lucent Technology. "There are a mixture of different platforms in these environments and being able to have a directory that is cross platform capable with a LDAP interface is critical."
