Educational institutions are complex organizations with many of the same needs as other businesses in terms of identity management access control and Active Directory integrity. Any accidental or malicious change to the AD could have catastrophic results for students and administrators, both in financial loss and academic discontinuity.

Your Active Directory and file access information must be protected in order to prevent that from happening. You need a solution that’s:

Fast
Efficient
Powerful
Easy-to-Use
Fully Integrated
AFFORDABLE

You also need:

• Educational pricing that makes Blackbird affordable for nearly any institution.
• Flexible licensing that allows you to purchase only the functionality you need .
• Modular implementation that allows you to install only the modules you need now, without additional overhead.
• Scalability that supports tens of thousands of users as well as it does hundreds of users.
