Version 2.7 to increase IT productivity through reduced manual process, improved distribution group management and support for cloud computing.

Ensim Corporation, a provider of change management, user provisioning and access control software, today announced the availability of Ensim Unify Enterprise Edition, Version 2.7. The company claims that the latest upgrade offers new functionality aimed at proactively enforcing compliance policies and improving IT efficiency by eliminating manual processes and providing stricter security for mobile devices and distribution group management.

It articulates that its suite of access management and provisioning tools include support for Active Directory (AD), MS Exchange, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Office Communications Server (OCS). The company avers that version 2.7 enables organizations to more easily meet compliance directives through enforced standardization, as well as plug security holes, such as misconfiguration of security groups and improper passwords, by eliminating reliance on manual processes or scripts.

It avers that the features of the Version 2.7 release include:

• Improved Distribution Group Management
• Support for Cloud Computing Initiatives
• Organization-wide Security Policies for Mobile Devices
• Extended SMTP Domain Management
• Enhanced Email Aliases Management
• Mailbox Store Management

''Distribution groups are a critical communications tool for a growing number of organizations, but the creation, management and deletion of these groups can be difficult and expensive to administer,'' said Scott Young, Vice President of marketing and product management at Ensim Corporation. ''Implementing Ensim Unify can remove this burden by standardizing the provisioning process across all systems and allowing end users to self service, without worrying about misconfiguration.''
