Omni - Celebrating 10 Years of Software Innovation

Omni is pleased to announce its 10th Anniversary!

On behalf of Omni, I would like to thank our customers in Indiana, the NUGI Community and the hard-working team at Integrity for 10 years of success, software innovation and growth. This is the most exciting time in the company's history to be an Omni customer, partner and team member. Thank you for your loyalty and commitment.

Positioned for Continued Growth and Profitability

Omni's flagship product, eControl, currently addresses an $80-million market opportunity in the delegated user management and provisioning space. In April, when eControl 3 is launched, the worldwide market opportunity will increase ten-fold to $800-million, growing at 7-10 percent per year. eControl 3 will be compatible with the 10,000+ GroupWise customers and the 187 million e-mail accounts managed by Microsoft Exchange. Soon, eControl can be sold into virtually all corporate, government and education accounts globally and allow these customers to do more with less. Like Novell IDM, the drivers for eControl are to increase profitability, improve productivity, enhance security and compliance and cut costs. Unlike IDM, however, eControl is quick to deploy and involves much lower licensing costs.

Special Anniversary Promotions (offers expire April 30th, 2009)

- eControl: 25 percent discount on eControl for existing customers (i.e., customers with current support contracts)
- eControl: 10 percent discount on eControl for new customers
- Riva Value Packs: Buy 2, get the rest free
- Desktop Multiplier: Education customers can now get the Multiplier for $59 USD per seat
