RES Software Expands RES Wisdom to Support Microsoft Exchange Server 2010

Philadelphia, PA -- June 28, 2010 –RES Software, the proven leader in user workspace management, expanded its run book automation offering today with the launch of RES Wisdom Service Release 5. RES Wisdom Service Release 5 offers users support for migrating to the recently released Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. With this new service release, RES Wisdom continues to enable IT professionals to deliver any set of changes to user workspaces and automate provisioning of IT resources from a single console.

RES Wisdom enables IT administrators to use run books (prebuilt workflows) to automate operations management processes, using logic to apply changes dependent on specific parameters. Any combination of maintenance and provisioning jobs can be chained into a single run book to automate complex sequences of changes across a combination of workstations and servers. This ensures that end users have the right resources available at any time or place, increasing their productivity. RES Wisdom is easy to install on an administrator’s workstation and can be deployed quickly across the network to all the workstations and servers in the organization, regardless of location.

Support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 is offered as the critical next step in the evolution of RES Wisdom. As enterprises of all sizes begin to migrate their end-users to the latest version of Exchange Server, they are now able to control the management of the process from one central console. This essential feature also enables advanced scheduling, which allows IT professionals to more cost effectively automate, manage and maintain the migration process. The migration of small batches of users can be scheduled at specific, convenient times that will not disrupt workflow.

“RES Software has been a committed Microsoft technology partner for five years,” said Bob Janssen, Chief Technology Officer, RES Software. “With RES Wisdom Service Release 5, our joint customers will now have support during the migration and management of Microsoft Exchange Server 2010. This additional feature further supports the ability of RES Wisdom to seamlessly manage the user workspace environment and is critical in maintaining organizational productivity and ensuring minimal end-user impact.”
