  SANTA CLARA, CA, Aug 24 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Ensim Corporation, the leading provider of solutions to manage,
orchestrate, and automate private, public and hybrid cloud
infrastructure, today announced the availability of Ensim Unify Office
365 Cloud Connector, enabling service providers to automate the
provisioning and management processes necessary to efficiently bundle
Microsoft cloud services with their own offerings to their resellers and
customers worldwide. 

    Ensim Unify Service Provider Edition is the industry's most advanced and
comprehensive platform and control panel for service providers who want
to offer hosted applications and services from their datacenter and
resell third party cloud service bundles. Unify offers a complete,
centralized, relational platform that manages the creation, activation,
configuration, and administration of an entire application and service
offering. It delivers superior security and automation functionality with
connectors for over 50 applications and cloud services, as well as the
ability to quickly and easily add custom connectors via an
industry-proven SDK. 

    Microsoft Office 365(R) provides service providers with a syndication
offering that allows anywhere access for their customers to work together
and includes features like email, web conferencing, documents, and
calendars. With the Unify Office 365 Connector, Ensim offers service
providers an easy and effective way to automate the complex set of manual
tasks necessary to capitalize on and efficiently bundle Microsoft cloud
services.

    The Ensim Unify Office 365 Cloud Connector includes the following
capabilities:


--  Advanced Subscription Control - Supports the creation of different
    types of accounts as well as creates and tracks different types of
    subscriptions for a service provider offering syndication of Office
    365.
    
--  Global Access - Enables service provider administrators to register
    the countries of their target customers and designate the specific
    languages they want to offer, as well as configure a Microsoft Partner
    ID and/or a Billing ID (provided by Microsoft) for specific API
    calls.
    
--  Flexible Implementation and Enhanced Security - Implements a
    Background Agent and a Callback Agent as separate installers that
    service providers can install on a separate server infrastructure
    designated through Ensim Unify to configure security and certificates
    for API calls that help keep the infrastructure secure.
    
--  Role-based Delegation and Workflow - Allows service providers to
    decide whether organization administrators can subscribe and/or
    unsubscribe from various plans or require that they request the
    service provider's administrator to complete this task.
