Product Description

ACCOUNT GENEOUS software is designed to simplify the task and greatly reduce the amount of time required for enterprise-wide User Account Administration across multiple platforms. It offers full user administration support for Windows NT, UNIX and OpenVMS user accounts.

Further, it allows the delegation of account administration to authorized personnel - with confidence and security. Each user of ACCOUNT GENEOUS operates within a framework of privilege limits defined by a “Security Profile” to control who can do what; on which systems; and even to which nominated end-user accounts.

Each operating system vendor normally provides a basic system manager application to manage end-user accounts, usually one at a time, and by users who need system privileges. These basic applications do not provide the refinement demanded by a professional environment.

When you switch to ACCOUNT GENEOUS you lose none of the functionality of the vendor’s own programs. What you gain is the experience of account management from many companies around the world.


Case Study 1

A major Pharmaceutical Company, having 12,500 users on UNIX (HP and Sun Solaris) with Trusted System and clustering.

The requirement:

  • Improve efficiency including speed of provisioning new accounts

  • Enhance security with elimination of orphan accounts and removal of staff leavers

  • Reduce helpdesk calls

  • Save costs through reduction in support staff

  • HR to be the prime source and database for all accounts

  • Centralised administration

    •

    The solution was to implement Account Geneous. The implementation was completed within a few weeks and required minimal consultancy.

  • They operated previously with approximately 10 administrators with varied levels of access:
  • ‘Help Desk’
  • ‘System Manager’
  • ‘Security Manager’
  • ‘Reports Manager’
    •

    • They now operate with approximately 4 users of Account Geneous

    • Supporting approx 150 UNIX servers and 12,500 users

    • Training was provided by Geneous Software together with telephone and on-line support and included:
      • Use of Pre/Post-processing scripts
      • Creation of Connectors for target machines
  • The company is using their existing personnel database as the Subscriber Database for Account GENEOUS. All changes occurred at HR are propagated to corresponding accounts via Account Geneous
    •

    All requirements have been met with ACCOUNT GENEOUS


    Case Study 2

    A major Public Service company having 15,000 users spread over 500 ‘local offices’ on Windows in a single domain.

    The requirement:

  • Improve efficiency including speed of provisioning new accounts

  • Enhance security with elimination of orphan accounts and removal of staff leavers

  • Reduce helpdesk calls

  • Save costs through reduction in support staff

  • De-centralized management of Windows NT / W2K on a large scale

    •

    The solution was to implement Account Geneous. The implementation was completed within a few weeks and required minimal consultancy.

  • De-Centralized Management of user accounts in a single NT Domain by remote managers.

  • Approximately 500 users of Account GENEOUS (1 in each branch) with very limited access:

  • Change Passwords
  • Disable / Enable
  • Assign Group membership

  • Decentralized Access Control by use of “Smart Profile”

  • access is granted to the Account Geneous administrator (office manager) via membership of NT group
  • Once logged on the Account Geneous administrator can manage users only in own office group

  • Centralized management by the Administration Team to have overall control via Account GENEOUS

  • Training was provided by Geneous Software together with telephone and on-line support. Very few on-site visits were required.
