“Designer for Identity Manager has greatly accelerated our deployments within our Identity Management Ecosystem. Without much prior knowledge or the help of more expensive consultants Designer for Identity Manager made it possible for our internal organization to design and deploy complex connections to other systems. Designer's method of click-and-run connectors is far more efficient and effective then comparable solutions or even earlier versions of IDM/DirXML.”    (August 30, 2006)

“Using Designer for Identity Manager has cut our development time for an Identity Management project almost in half. Drag and drop, wizards and features like document generation increased our "get the job done" efficiency whereas features like Simulation and Workflow Editor enable us to do things we could not do in the past. A customer was stunned when we showed them how easy it is to build customized workflows in Desinger for Identity Manager. As a matter of fact, this customer, without any IT knowledge, is now building their own workflows.”    (July 7, 2006)

“Designer has really pushed our IDM practice further. Our discovery and design time has been shortened, we can develop more effectively with portable code wherever we need to be, our documentation is produced more completely, consistently, and in half the time, and we can provide post deployment support in almost real time from anywhere with only e-mail access. Designer has improved every phase of our IDM projects.”    (March 24, 2006)
