Why Novell?
The answer to the open-but-secure paradox your customers face in an integrated and comprehensive security and identity solution based on open standards and that can be flexibly deployed into any organizations’s existing IT infrastructure. Only Novell Security and Identity Solutions deliver all of these capabilities without disrupting existing systems or forcing companies to change the way they do business. Every component is designed to plug into and work flawlessly with – your customer’s existing environments. Each of these products work well by themselves, but they also integrate exceptionally well to form more holistic identity-management solutions. Novell doesn’t ask your customers to rip out and replace their infrastructures or to accept vendor lock-in as a norm. Our flexible, modular approach means that organizations can add new capabilities that match their unique business requirements – and that they can do it at their own pace, as business plans and budgets permit.
Only Novell has developed the majority of its products in-house. It hasn’t had to acquire major aspects of its technology in order to offer a thorough and flexible identity-management solution. Ultimately, the integrated products that form Novell Security and Identity solution sets are the only solutions available that have not been cobbled together in a rush, when vendors that are primarily focused on completely different technology sets suddenly notice how lucrative this market is – and hurry to play catch-up by purchasing technologies they have little experience with. In contrast, Novell has been developing and, indeed, leading this solution market for years. The experience shows: Novell provides solid solutions across the identity-management board that are here NOW and are ready to meet the needs of business users.
