SAM helps organizations implement a self-service function for user account registration, provisioning and password resets in SharePoint 2007. This entire process is assisted, moderated and managed with the help of SAM or SharePoint Administrator. SAM Product website http://www.9starresearch.com/
Using SAM, both the Internal Users (such as Employees and Staff) as well as the External Users (such as Vendors, Suppliers, Partners, Customers, Consultants, and Guests) are easily provisioned into SharePoint directly OR into a configured central enterprise repository such as a Microsoft SQL Database or Microsoft Active Directory.
This enterprise directory/database store of user account information is then used by SharePoint server as well as all enterprise applications for user authentication and access management.
End-users can simply use their desktop web browsers to access SAM and self-register securely for a user account. Registered user account information is presented to SAM or SharePoint Administrator for verification before it is automatically provisioned into the configured backend server such as Microsoft SQL server, Microsoft Active Directory and/or Microsoft SharePoint 2007. End-users use SAM 2009 to reset their passwords and recover their UserID’s by themselves using their desktop browser and email.
SAM automates and streamlines the user account provisioning and life cycle management process for SharePoint as well as the enterprise. This drastically reduces IT helpdesk support costs, enables faster time to market SharePoint hosted services while improving end-user satisfaction.
Improved cost reductions, faster time to market and better user satisfaction is achieved!
