  10. Testimonial • NEC America, Inc.Milt AtkinsonManager Technical ServicesEngineering Services DivisionCorporate Networks Group"This program is a e-mail administration answer to what could be termed a nightmare. I currently have 751 users on one Exchange system and keeping profile information up to date for this many people is like trying to keep 751 tennis balls under water at the same time. Giving the users the rights to keep this information up to date has, conceivably, made it unnecessary to hire additional Help Desk people. We move people between Divisions, Department, buildings, cities and states on a daily basis and by the time this information would get to the e-mail administrator, updated in their profile and deployed to the rest of the organization, we would have lost a lot of contacts and possibly sales. We have customized users attributes and modified e-mail templates and DA picked those changes up automatically allowing us to set the attributes and deploy the client out to the users ... the hardest part of the whole procedure is getting up from our desk and walking back to the server room!”
