Business Wire, March 6, 1998

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 1998--Automated Profile Management, LLC announces its flagship product, Profile Maker, has passed the stringent requirements required to receive "Designed for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95" logo certification from Microsoft. Profile Maker eliminates up to 15 minutes per user setup during software rollouts, and reduces administration costs throughout the system administration life cycle.

The "Designed for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95" logo signifies to system integrators and administrators products which integrate well with their Windows computers. This certification provides insurance for network administrators and CTOs against an industry beset with many non-compatible products.

John Moyer, the CEO of Automated Profile Management, LLC, voiced strong optimism for Profile Maker's success in the global marketplace. "Profile Maker has helped customers with users numbering from twenty to over ten thousand integrate and manage their systems. These customers are from all major industry sectors including health care, manufacturing, professional, government and education. The successful testing of our product and resulting certification provides an added level of confidence to our existing and future customers."

Profile Maker lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Windows 95 and Windows NT networked clients by providing an easy and effective means for automating user specific configurations. No longer do administrators have to resort to costly and time-consuming techniques of manually constructing profiles or writing custom coded or scripted solutions. Initial savings in terms of the elimination of up to 15 minutes per user have been reported during software rollouts. In addition, savings are achieved on an on-going basis during system administration.

Profile Maker directly supports a number of email server products including MS Exchange Server, Microsoft Mail, HP OpenMail, and any POP3/SMTP server. Profile Maker excels at client software configuration including direct support for MS Exchange Client, MS Outlook, Windows Messaging, and Schedule . Using customizable configuration templates, virtually any software or user profile feature can be modified or controlled. Profile Maker provides transparent operation with Windows NT Server (3.51 and 4.0), NetWare, Winframe from Citrix Systems, Inc., ReachOut from Stac, Inc. and supports Windows NT and 95 client computers.

Profile Maker automates the customization of user profiles, freeing network administrators to take care of other tasks. Profile Maker can individually customize applications based on a user's account information. Roving profiles are supported, along with mandatory system settings and ongoing profile monitoring. It can be installed from a single server, requiring no client configuration and enables a network administrator to manage user profiles remotely and across any size network.
