Novell Identity Manager Bags Best Identity Manager Award by InfoWorld

Novell(R) Identity Manager was chosen as “Best Identity Manager” in InfoWorld’s 2006 Technology of the Year Awards.

Winners for this prestigious annual award are selected by InfoWorld test center analysts who judge products based on innovation and effectiveness.

According to InfoWorld, “Powerful graphical workflow and design tools, intuitive user interface and solid directory foundation give it (Novell Identity Manager 2) an edge over strong competitors.”

“Usability will be the next big battleground,” wrote the InfoWorld test center analysts. “So far, Novell has taken the lead in this area, offering sophisticated management tools atop its mature directory server foundation.
The recently released Identity Manager 3 builds on an already solid product offering with automated provisioning capabilities and a visual policy designer based on the Eclipse framework.”

Novell has around 3,600 customers. It shipped version 3 of the product in december last year.
