TestimonialAs an educator juggling multiple duties, I am constantly looking for tools that make network management faster and more efficient. Our school district runs a mixed platform network, and User Management gave me the flexibility I needed to create users with the Active Directory attributes we required to allow staff and students access to their accounts from either Windows 2000/XP or Macintosh OS X environments. User Management's intuitive user interface makes Active Directory attributes more accessible, which will allow us to more effectively use AD for network management tasks. User Management also provides powerful tools for "massaging" student records data. I spent very little time preparing the data we used for input, and that translates into more time and energy devoted to student achievement and meeting staff technology needs. But far and away, I was most impressed with the extraordinary level of customer support. In the sixteen years that I have been purchasing and using various levels of computer and network equipment and software, I have never had service as personalized and thorough as that I received from the Tools4evers America partner. Advanced Toolware. staff. Our purchase of User Management was money well spent. Tim Touhey Vocational Director Chehalis School District Read more... |
Identity Management in EducationConnections between School Information Systems and Virtual Learning EnvironmentUser account management for students (login names etc.), is becoming increasingly complex. Accounts must be created at the beginning of each school year, while the frequency of account changes during the year continues to increase. There are reports that student names have been misspelled, changes in group memberships occur, passwords have to be reset, etc. A considerable amount of student details are already present in the student tracking system. Tools4ever’s User Management Resource Administrator (UMRA) ensures that the data from the student administration system (e.g. Magister or Power Campus) is made available automatically, without the need of user intervention, in Active Directory, Exchange, eDirectory (Novell), GroupWise and the file system, as well as in access systems, library systems, electronic learning environments (ELOs), etc. The solution can be used to create, modify and remove accounts automatically for all applications used by the school. Read how our customers in the education sector managed to regain control over their network using our solutions and were able to streamline their user account management.
