"We
were impressed by the speed and ease
with which Unify
was installed. It has certainly made user provisioning a
much simpler and more productive task and has
freed
our IT department for other more critical purposes.” "Unify
has enabled us to accelerate our go-to-market program by
simplifying the process of provisioning new customers, and
allowing them to manage themselves. Since we deployed
Unify, TELUS has reduced its cost of operations by more
than 40%."
“Before
Unify, we spent three hours per day resetting passwords, now we spend less than 30
minutes. Users now manage their own accounts based on standard IT policy, improving response
time while giving IT a complete audit trail. It’s a great addition to our environment. We can handle |

Distribution and Security Groups are a vital component of every organization’s identity
management strategy. Provisioning, managing, and synchronizing these groups creates critical
security and IT overhead issues. Group members change constantly requiring constant ongoing
maintenance that consumes substantial time from both the managers and Exchange administrators to coordinate and synchronize updates. In many organizations, just these updates
create roughly of 40% of the total call volume logged by the IT helpdesk. Unauthorized access to sensitive data caused by mismanagement of groups can be devastating.
Distribution Group Manager Benefits & Feature Summary:
- Manage regular and dynamic distribution groups
- Create, edit, delete, and clone distribution groups
- Manage Members, Email Aliases, and Delivery Restrictions
- Multiple Owner Support for a single distribution group
- Information or ethical walling capability
- Ability to set an automatic prefix for distribution group names
- Bulk import and export of distribution group members
- Full support for nested groups
- Self-service functionality
IT departments are being challenged continuously to ensure compliance with regulatory and
internal security policies. IT administrators are pressured to make certain that the organization’s
ever-changing Exchange data is properly managed and updated. At the same time, IT
departments are expected to do all this with fewer resources.
Automate Policy and Streamline Maintenance
The Distribution Group Manager allows people responsible for specific groups to perform the management functions that would otherwise overwhelm IT administrators and helpdesk staff. Once the policies are in place, a secure, easy-to-use web-based interface makes it simple for designated users to control how groups are used; create, updated, and deleted. The reporting capability also makes it simple to review groups for compliance with corporate policies
Lower Costs and Overhead
The total cost of group maintenance can be greatly reduced when you delegate maintenance responsibilities to owners and designated managers of those groups. Administrators & helpdesk staff eliminate time-consuming manual tasks from their workload and can focus on IT initiatives that require specialized expertise. Group owners and designated managers are empowered to make changes as needed improving the flow of critical business information.
Information Walling
In regulated industries, certain groups of employees may not be allowed to communicate with
other employees due to legal requirements designed to prevent potential “conflicts of interest.” Unify Distribution Group Manager offers an automated control system that can be
deployed to prevent communication between parties with a conflict of interest as defined by the
organization. This “information or ethical walling” is a flexible, customizable component that
can be included within the Unify Distribution Group Manager.
Unify was co-developed with Microsoft and is used to administer over 1.5M users
