- Dynamic, demonstrable compliance
- When you need to prove, track, automate, and verify your security policies, Novell Identity Manager is your best friend. You won't need to worry about Sarbanes-Oxley or similar government regulations, because Novell Identity Manager logs and tracks all user access for auditing purposes. This makes it much easier to identify breaches in security should they ever occur, and provides solid confirmation that only authorized users have access to sensitive information and systems.
More + - Password changes made easy
- If your users have to call the helpdesk to change their passwords, you're going to love this. Nearly 30% of helpdesk calls are password related. Analysts estimate that each time someone calls the helpdesk, it costs anywhere from US $25 to US $50. Why not empower your users through password self-service? It keeps them from getting derailed from their task, reduces distractions and makes everyone more efficient. Let them change their passwords and manage their identities in accordance with your business policy, and take your helpdesk out of that loop. More +

- It's simple: One person, one identity.Novell Identity Manager unifies digital identities across all business systems in the enterprise so that when an identity is created or changed in the authoritative system, the new information is automatically propagated to all appropriate systems. This helps your employees stay in compliance with company policies and prevents anyone from taking on possibly conflicting roles (being both a purchaser and a supplier, for example). More +
