PHOENIX, AZ -- 07/23/07 --
NetPro Computing, Inc., a leading provider of
distributed services management software, today announced the general
availability of MissionControl 2.2, a significant upgrade to its total
management solution for Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM).
Available today, NetPro's MissionControl 2.2 builds on its powerful ILM
change auditing and monitoring capabilities to provide compatibility with
ILM v1, as well as unprecedented visibility, deep business intelligence and
comprehensive reporting on the ILM environment. With MissionControl 2.2, IT
organizations can examine and dissect the interrelationships of ILM data
for insight on past, current and potential future trends, including the
impact of introducing new identity systems to ILM, changes to activity type
over time, and capacity planning. MissionControl 2.2 features 10 new
built-in reports including Management Agent Activity Trend, Management
Agent Changes, Meta-Verse Audit and Performance Statistics, to name a few.
"By translating key data into comprehensive management reports,
organizations can make more intelligent decisions on future identity and
access strategies and tactics, as well as the related spending. This
intelligence enables better decision making, better performance, and
dramatically improved security and compliance," said Rod Simmons, Director
of Product Management for NetPro. "NetPro's Directory Experts Conference
Survey results show that ILM has reached 50% usage in our delegate
population -- up 7% over last year. With the growing adoption of ILM,
fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants management is no longer an acceptable
approach."
"Oxford Computer Group makes heavy use of trending and reporting data
within ILM to focus our efforts, maintain operations and predict growth,"
said Bob Tucker, Director, Client Services for Oxford Computer Group
(www.oxfordcomputergroup.com), a leading global identity and access
management consulting firm and ILM specialists. "We are excited to see
these needs met in the newest release of MissionControl from NetPro. These
and other enhancements make this release a must have for every serious
Identity Management Architect."
