Making Standard Life easier to deal with is one of their key operating principles. Standard Life recognized from the outset that security is vital to giving their customers a trusted single process of authentication to interface with all their businesses. The selection of Novell’s solution was based on their previous experience with Novell Directory Services. The secure user authentication to Standard Life’s Customer Internet Access system is built on Novell’s NDS eDirectory technology to provide a high level of security and accelerated user access, as well as easy management of users and their online identities.
