panagenda MarvelClient - The fastest client management solution for IBM Lotus Notes

MarvelClient is the one solution for centralized Lotus Notes client management.

MarvelClient can enforce settings both on-demand, on a one time basis, as well as permanently – for certain users, groups, certifiers and/or on clients with specific properties, such as laptop, desktop, Citrix, or IP address.

For permanent actions, there are two further action execution options:
  • Actions that are to be executed often to always at every client start. Note: this kind of "self-healing" requires a client restart.
  • Actions that influence the client behaviour for its whole run time (during the entire client session) (Real time control)
Ensuring that certain problems do not occur at all any more yields client management cost savings. Ensuring that Lotus Notes clients can „heal themselves“ based on locally stored action-sets -even without connection to the enterprise = clearly reduces the number of helpdesk calls, up to 80% for current customers.

Why is centralized Lotus Notes Client Management so much more efficient? In IBM Lotus Notes - be it with or without any other 3rd party product -, the moments when administrators can carry out client management tasks are limited to single, particular moments in time - this is because Lotus Notes works with in-memory representations that cannot be changed while the client is up and running.

Changes can only be applied, for example, through a mailbox’s PostOpen script or during start up or shut down of Notes; end users may even have to restart Microsoft Windows.

The result is that you have no control over the remaining Notes session, which for normal end users usually lasts several hours. In that time, end users can open databases, views, and documents on any server, and document links and composite applications may connect users to servers outside their immediate network vicinity.

Increased control with panagenda’s MarvelClient


panagenda MarvelClient has everything you need to take control of your Notes client configurations — costeffectively and efficiently — across workspaces (desktop*.dsk/ndk), bookmarks, replicas, replicator pages, location and connection documents, cross certificates, and more.

MarvelClient allows you to precisely define when a particular action is supposed to run, whether it’s just once or a recurring event (e.g., to enforce configurations). You can even specify that actions run in real time for true control over connectivity, traffic, and disk-space consumption. With its unique real-time control feature, MarvelClient addresses one of the administrator’s main problems — that many of these settings and objects can only be changed or enforced in single, particular moments in time — helping you regain control over network traffic and disk-space consumption.
