ZENworks Configuration Management gives organizations the ability to manage desktops based on their users’ network identities, which can include a combination of user business role, location or group membership. This enables the delivery of applications, content and IT resources tailored to the personal needs of each user. ZENworks Configuration Management simplifies management of Microsoft Windows® desktops, including Vista. With native integration for both Microsoft Active Directory® and Novell eDirectory, Novell ZENworks Configuration Management enables real-time, identity-based systems management. It accelerates service delivery and ensures configuration accuracy, making immediate desktop configuration changes whenever network user accounts are changed.

Touchpaper’s IT Business Management software is tightly integrated with the Novell infrastructure and therefore allows users to benefit from all the features of Touchpaper’s market leading service desk system, while simultaneously leveraging the unique features of Novell applications, including the new ZENworks Configuration Management. Novell ZENworks functionality can be accessed through Touchpaper’s market leading IT Business Management Suite, making it easier for IT help desk personnel to match callers to their IT resources, accelerating their ability to provide a solution to users’ problems and giving automated inventory collection and software license compliance as a welcomed by-product.

“This is the next step in our ongoing relationship with Novell,” said Graham Ridgway, CEO of Touchpaper. “Working in parallel, we continue to develop and deploy integrated go-to-market solutions that build on each other’s strengths, and address the growing needs of our customers.”
