Q.
Why is using NDS better than building your own?
A.
While most applications have a directory to organize information and direct users to resources they need, Novell Directory Services does much more. Global, platform-independent and accessible from virtually any client or standard browser with a single sign-on, NDS is the secure, mature directory that links users, applications, services, and platforms of all kinds adding value, security and dimension to your applications while dramatically shortening development cycles and time to market.
Because NDS is tightly integrated with all layers of the network, you can focus on selling the benefits of your application or hardware device, and not the access and management of it. You also benefit from a larger potential market for your products since they won't be locked in to a specific platform.
