Big News! Imanami Releases GroupID 5.0

The latest edition of Imanami's ground-breaking software takes user and group management to a whole new level.

GroupID 5.0 incorporates all of the old core Imanami applications and bundles them into one suite, integrating functionality and administration while still enabling them to function independently. GroupID allows any size organization to have all the benefits of a secure and powerful group and identity management solution.

GroupID makes an organization more secure and more productive. Imanami views group management as a three-step process:

Synchronize Active Directory to ensure its accuracy.

Automate group membership based on users' attributes in AD.

Provide Self-Service to manage users' groups. All while managing the group's lifecycle.

Accurate groups are essential to an enterprise. Accurate distribution groups improve productivity. Accurate security groups improve security. An estimated 70% of all organizations don't have a reliable group management solution. Without a way to automate group membership, an organization's security groups don't grant the correct access and distribution groups don't go to the correct users.

GroupID solves these problems. Groups are automated and managed dynamically. Users have the option of self-service to manage their own groups and memberships. IT has control over the process. Groups are managed from the cradle to the grave. Groups should not live forever; project teams disband, departments reorganize. Some organizations have up to 8 times more groups than users. GroupID allows IT to set policies to expire groups and eliminate group glut. If the user still needs the group, it's as simple as renewing it. GroupID makes an organization more secure and more productive.

Imanami's GroupID consists of four modules to solve your organization's group management issues:

Automate
Self-Service
Synchronize
Reports

These work togThese work together to ensure accurate directory data, automated provisioning of users and groups, dynamic membership in groups, and self-service administration. By working together you ensure that you have the exact groups your organization needs and that they are always accurate.
