The overall benefits of BCC_CientGenie are a reduction in the cost of ownership for your Lotus Domino / Notes infrastructure, normalized client configurations, easy management for changes and lower help desk call volume for client configuration issues. BCC_ClientGenie does this by providing the framework of key elements to client management:
Analyze your Notes client environment
BCC_ClientGenie collects all the client information you need (e.g., client hardware and operating system information, Notes program and data directory, location and connection documents, replicas and replication settings, etc.) during the start-up of the Notes client without any user impact. Even collection and protected storage for users‘ ID files is possible.
Create and apply corporate standards for Notes clients
BCC_ClientGenie allows you to take back control over your organization‘s Notes Client installations. You can apply a corporate standard to users‘ Notes workspaces and pages, provide access to required databases, add or change location and connection documents, and much more.
Implement and monitor change management processes
BCC_ClientGenie updates users desktops to reflect all defined changes once the requests have been approved and released. This ensures that audits are available for all changes. BCC_ClientGenie also tracks the update process for future reporting or troubleshooting, providing detailed reports about updated configurations for each user.
