New Web Site Almost Ready for Launch

We decided that along with the launch of Imanami’s GroupID 5.0 suite, we should upgrade the infatech.com web site, and this is due for completion this week. This is really exciting because it’s the first proper makeover we’ve given the site in 3/4 years and when it’s complete it should focus visitors quite well on the InfaTech and Imanami messages about the importance of group management.

GroupID 5.0 Self Service – a First Look

WebDir’s got a whole new look!

Now an integral module within GroupID 5.0, it’s now known as the Self Service module and what a makeover it’s been given!

GroupID Self Service has taken all the good features of Imanami’s old flagship product, WebDir and has some other great features added.

‘Self Service’ now supports additional features as:

• Automatic group expiration. This is set according to policy and can be set to never expire groups, expire every 30, 60, 90 or 120 days, 6 or 12 months. This is an excellent feature which will considerably reduce the amount of unused and unwanted groups visible in your address book.
• Automatic expired group deletion. This can be set on or off and if on the period between expiry and deletion is administrator configurable. This will ensure not only that unused groups are hidden from the address book but that they are also deleted from the Active Directory, thus helping administrators maintain a tidier and more importantly a more secure directory.
• Integrated workflow. The Self Service portal now includes its own workflow area where you can not only approve any requests that come in but you can also track your own requests for group memberships etc.

The portal default front screen has also had a good makeover and besides being cleaner and sharper has also been de-cluttered and this makes for a much more readable application:

See how easy it is to create the first self service portal here…

Once you’ve created your first portal, sign in to it and make your own groups, set them the way you want to and have them autoexpire according to policy.

Self Service also includes old favourites like directory search, update, reports, photo support and much much more. More videos to follow; the ones above are only quick previews so we’ll put up a more complete set of Self Service videos when our new web site is launched next week.

First UK Demonstration of GroupID 5.0

Today we held the first demonstration of GroupID 5.0 and it was very well received.

The person we were showing the application to had some prior knowledge of WebDir as they had used it in a previous position, but they were not aware of the GroupID roadmap and additional functionality it has.

Particularly impressive features included automatic group expiration, which is new, and also group usage, which had been around in SmartDL days as an add-on but which is now rolled into the GroupID application proper.

Tomorrow I’ll blog a full feature update list for the various modules and will post some screenshots and possibly video as well because GroupID really does have to be seen in operation.

New Case Study!

Exciting news following the official launch of GroupID is that we already have our first case study available.

In this study we read how a leading firm of solicitors have deployed Imanami software to reduce calls to the helpdesk, streamline management processes and win a national award into the bargain!

GroupID Now Released!

Finally the wait for Imanami’s GroupID product is over!

GroupID consolidates all of Imanami’s point solutions for identity management into one cohesive application base developed in a modular style so you can buy just the modules you need.

The modules have been christened: Automate (previously SmartDL), Self Service (previously WebDir), Synchronize (previously DTM) and Reports (previously SmartR and still a free application AND one of the best reporting tools available for Active Directory and Exchange!)

We’re working with Imanami to get the updated licence keys available to our existing client base so that they can evaluate and upgrade to the released GroupID platform.

Sales of GroupID are progressing extremely well with at least one site licence already being sold in the UK due to the quality of the product.

More, much more, to follow here soon….
